The Role of Islamic Religious Education Teachers in Instilling Islamic Values in Students at Al-Hadi Islamic Junior High School Sukoharjo

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of the Station Rotation learning model to improve students' learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) at SMP Negeri 2 Palembang. The research addresses the issue of low student achievement in IRE, which is often due to passive learning methods that do not accommodate diverse learning needs. The Station Rotation model, based on blended learning principles, allows students to rotate through different learning stations, encouraging active participation, differentiation, and collaboration. This quantitative study employed a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 30 eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using learning outcome tests and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings show a significant improvement in students' post-test scores, indicating that the model effectively enhances learning outcomes in the cognitive domain. The results suggest that Station Rotation is a viable alternative to traditional methods, contributing to more interactive and student-centered IRE instruction.
