INNOVATION OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION LEARNING MODEL IN MERDEKA CURRICULUM AT MOVER SCHOOL

Abstract

Abstract: The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum emphasises the aspect of freedom for students and teachers to develop a learning process based on real experiences. The Merdeka Curriculum identifies education as a form or part of the experience gained by students, one of which is the implementation of an effective learning model. Therefore, this study aims to: (1) analyse the learning model of Islamic religious education in the Merdeka learning curriculum in Mover schools (2) analyse the effectiveness of the learning model of Islamic religious education in the Merdeka learning curriculum in Mover schools. The main theories used in this research are Piaget's constructivist learning theory and Wirawan Fadly's learning model theory. This research uses a qualitative approach by choosing the type of case study. Interviews, observation and documentation were used to collect data. After the data was collected, it was analysed using pattern matching, explanation making and time series analysis. The findings of this study were twofold. Firstly, the learning model applied in SMP N 4 Rejang Lebong in the context of the Merdeka Curriculum is varied and interactive. From all aspects of the components that comprise the learning model, it still boils down to differentiated learning in the subjects of Islamic Religious Education (PAI). Secondly, in the implementation of the learning process related to the effectiveness of the PAI learning model in the Merdeka Curriculum, it is effective in increasing learning activities, students' positive responses and learning outcomes. . More flexible, student-centred and project-based learning has succeeded in improving the quality of learning in Islamic education, both in terms of student participation and academic achievement, so that the applied learning model brings about positive changes in the learning process and outcomes of Islamic education, in line with the objectives of the Merdeka Curriculum to produce students who are independent, creative and of strong character in accordance with the Pancasila profile.
