Published by Mandailing Global Edukasia A 2024. INTRODUCTION Application of Problem Based Learning in Islamic Religious Education to Increase Faith in Allah SWT in QS Material. At-Tin in Grade IV of SDN 106873 Gunung Pamela. Islamic Religious Education (PAI) is one of the most important subjects in the educational curriculum in Indonesia, especially at the elementary level. Through PAI, it is hoped that students will not only understand religious teachings, but also internalize Islamic values in daily life. One of the important goals of religious education is to build and strengthen faith in Allah SWT. However, in practice, the challenge often faced by educators is how to relate religious subject matter to real life and how to make students more actively involved in the learning process (Tubagus et al. , 2. This means that Islamic Religious Education is very important to build students' faith in Allah SWT. One of the efforts that can be made to increase students' faith is to choose a learning approach that is effective and in accordance with their needs. Problem Based Learning (PBL) is one of the methods that can be applied in PAI learning, especially in QS material. At-Tin which focuses on the interpretation and wisdom of these verses. PBL is a learning approach that prioritizes real problem-solving as the center of learning, where students are not only given theory, but also given the opportunity to develop critical and creative thinking skills in dealing with problems. In the material QS. At-Tin, which contains the creation of Allah SWT and His greatness, students are expected to understand the meaning of these verses deeply. However, often the material delivered conventionally tends to be less interesting to students and less challenging for them to think critically. As a result, students' understanding of the content of the material is less than optimal, and the aspect of faith in Allah SWT cannot develop properly. Therefore, it is important to look for learning methods that can make students more active, motivated, and have a direct connection to their lives. The application of PBL in PAI learning is expected to increase the active participation of students. In PBL, students are faced with a problem that must be solved through knowledge exploration and cooperation in groups. In the context of QS. At-Tin, the problem given can be related to how students see the greatness of God's creation and how They apply the values that exist in daily life. In this way, students not only memorize the interpretation or meaning of the verses, but they can also understand and feel the direct connection between religious teachings and the real conditions they face. In addition. PBL can also improve students' critical thinking skills, because in this learning process, students are required to identify problems, search for information, and formulate relevant Active involvement of students in solving problems can also strengthen their understanding of the religious concepts taught. Through group discussions and joint problem-solving, students can also learn to respect the opinions of others, as well as strengthen social relationships and cooperation in the context of shared learning. The implementation of PBL is expected to change the learning paradigm that has been more theoretical to more practical and applicable. In the context of PAI, this can help students to better understand the abstract concept of faith through concrete examples that they encounter in their daily lives. For example, students can be invited to reflect on the greatness of Allah SWT in creating the universe contained in surah At-Tin, as well as how they can cultivate a deeper sense of gratitude and faith in response to His creation (Goodfellow et al. , 2. The meaning is that the application of PBL is expected to change the learning paradigm from theoretical to practical, help students understand the concept of abstract faith with concrete examples, such as contemplating the greatness of Allah in surah At-Tin, and fostering gratitude and deeper However, the implementation of PBL also faces several challenges, especially in terms of class management and limited time. This method requires careful planning. mature, as well as the active involvement of teachers to facilitate students in every stage of Teachers also need to have the ability to structure relevant and challenging problems, as well as provide appropriate direction so that students can work effectively in Therefore, this study also aims to explore how the application of PBL can be applied effectively in the context of PAI learning in grade IV of SDN 106873 Gunung Pamela. The importance of this research also lies in the goal of improving the quality of PAI learning in elementary schools. Given that the age of students in grade IV is a crucial period in the development of faith and character, the right learning approach can have a significant positive impact. If PBL is successfully implemented, it is hoped that students will not only improve their understanding of QS material. At-Tin, but also experienced an increase in their aspect of faith and concern for the teachings of Islam. In line with this, this research is expected to contribute to the development of innovative and effective learning models in Islamic Religious Education, especially at the elementary school level. In addition, the results of this study are also expected to be a reference for other teachers to adopt the PBL approach in the learning process, as well as provide insight for researchers and education policymakers about the importance of applying more interactive and contextual methods in religious education. With this background, this research will focus on the application of PBL in learning, especially in QS At-Tin, with the aim of increasing students' understanding and faith in Allah SWT. This research will be carried out in grade IV of SDN 106873 Gunung Pamela by involving students directly in each stage of learning. It is hoped that this study can provide a clear picture of the impact on improving students' faith, as well as provide recommendations for the development of more effective religious learning in the future (Alam et al. , 2. This research focuses on the application of PBL in learning, especially QS material. At-Tin, to increase the understanding and faith of students in grade IV of SDN 106873 Gunung Pamela. METHODS Classroom Action Research (PTK) is a type of research conducted to improve the quality of learning through actions or direct interventions in the classroom. Based on the topic you mentioned, this research will focus on the application of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in Islamic Religious Education subjects, especially to increase faith in Allah SWT through QS At-Tin in grade IV of elementary school. This research aims to explore how PBL can improve the understanding and application of religious values, as well as see changes or increases in students' faith after the application of the method. This PTK generally consists of several cycles that include planning, implementation, observation, and reflection, with each cycle aiming to improve learning in the next cycle (Wulandari. , & Amalia. Classroom Action Research (PTK) uses PBL to increase students' faith. Research Variables. In the Classroom Action Research (PTK) with the topic of applying Problem Based Learning (PBL) in Islamic Religious Education to increase faith in Allah SWT through QS material. At-Tin in grade IV of elementary school, we can identify several relevant variables. This variable will help researchers to measure and analyze the influence of actions taken in the study. Independent Variable (Variable Given Actio. Application of Problem Based Learning (PBL) Learning Model: This variable is an action taken by the researcher, namely the application of the PBL method in learning Islamic Religious Education in grade IV of elementary school. In PBL, students will be invited to solve problems related to the material being taught, which in this case is QS. At-Tin. This model focuses on learning that involves critical thinking and group . Observable aspects in this variable. The application of PBL steps in the learning process. Interaction of students with the given problem. Collaborative process in discussion groups. The use of learning resources relevant to QS material. AtTin. Dependent Variables (Variables Affected by Action. Faith in Allah SWT: This is a variable that is measured to see the impact of the implementation of PBL on the understanding and application of religious values, especially in increasing students' faith in Allah SWT. Indicators that can be used to measure faith. Students' understanding of the content of QS. At-Tin, such as the interpretation, meaning, and moral message contained in the surah. Changes in students' attitudes and faith values after participating in learning. Follow-up of learning outcomes in students' daily lives . how they apply religious values in their live. Moderating Variables (Variables Affecting the Relationship between Independent and Dependent Variable. Social and Environmental Conditions of Students: These factors can affect how effective the implementation of PBL is in improving students' faith. Family environment, peers, and local culture factors can play a role in supporting or hindering changes in students' faith . Student Learning Motivation: Students' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in attending lessons can also affect the results of the implementation of PBL. Students who are motivated to learn are more likely to experience greater changes in religious understanding and increased faith. Control Variable (Variable with Minimized Influenc. Initial Characteristics of Students: Characteristics of students such as the initial level of understanding of religious material, the initial level of faith, or early academic ability can affect the results of the research. While this is not the primary focus of the study, it is important to consider this factor in the analysis. Availability of Learning Resources: Learning resources used during learning, such as religious books, learning media, or technology used in the implementation of PBL, can affect learning In this study, the independent variable is the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model, while the dependent variable is faith in Allah SWT which is measured through changes in students' attitudes and understanding of QS material. At-Tin. Moderating and control variables are also important to be analyzed to get a more comprehensive picture of the factors that affect the effectiveness of the implementation of PBL in Islamic Religious Education learning. Population and Sample. classroom action research (PTK), it is important to clearly define the population and sample to be studied. Based on the research topic you proposed, namely the application of Problem Based Learning (PBL) in Islamic Religious Education to increase faith in Allah SWT through QS material. At-Tin in grade IV of elementary school, here is an explanation of the population and appropriate samples. Research Population. Population is the entire group that is the object or target of research. In this case, the research population is all grade IV elementary school students at SDN 106873 Gunung Pamela, which is the place where the research was conducted. Population Details. Research Location: SDN 106873 Gunung Pamela. Classes Researched: Class IV . Number of Students: Usually, one class in elementary school has about 15 students, but the exact number needs to be listed based on the data available at the school. This population includes all students who take the subject of Islamic Religious Education, especially those who study QS material. At-Tin. The population in this study is all grade IV students who participate in Islamic Religious Education learning in the studied school, which has the potential to be affected by the application of the PBL learning model. Research Sample. The sample is a portion of the population that is selected to be the object of the study. In classroom action research, sample selection is generally not done randomly because this research focuses on actions applied to a specific class. The sample used is usually a class that is directly involved in the research. Sample Details. Class IV Involved: Based on the structure and school policy, one grade IV at SDN 106873 Gunung Pamela will be selected as a research sample. Number of samples: If a class consists of about 15 students, then the number of samples in this study is all students in grade IV who are involved in that learning. Usually, in PTK, all class members who will be given actions . n this case the implementation of PBL) are considered as samples. However, if there is a specific reason to select only a subset of students . or example, if the class is divided into small groups for discussio. , then purposive sampling or purpose-based sampling can be Sample Selection in PTK. In Classroom Action Research, typically the sample is the entire student in the class being studied. This means that the action (PBL) will be applied to all students in grade IV of SDN 106873 Gunung Pamela. There is no random sampling technique because PTK aims to observe learning improvements carried out in one class or group of students. It is important to note that in classroom action research, researchers focused on groups that directly received treatment and did not conduct random sample selection, since the goal was to observe the changes that occurred within a particular class. Types. Sources and Techniques of Data Collection. In the Classroom Action Research (PTK) which focuses on the application of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in increasing faith in Allah SWT in QS material.

DISCUSSION The implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in Islamic education at SD Negeri 106873 Gunung Pamela has shown promising results in enhancing students' faith and understanding of Islamic teachings. Unlike traditional methods that focus mainly on the passive reception of information. PBL encourages students to actively engage with real-life issues, reflecting on how Islamic values and faith in Allah Swt. can guide their This approach allows students to not only understand religious concepts but also internalize them, leading to a deeper connection with their faith. One of the key findings of this research was the significant improvement in students' ability to relate Islamic teachings to real-life situations. Through problemsolving activities that incorporated Islamic principles, students were encouraged to think critically about how their faith can shape their decisions and actions. By discussing moral dilemmas, ethical challenges, and societal issues through the lens of Islamic teachings, students developed a stronger sense of responsibility and a more profound understanding of their faith in Allah Swt. Moreover, the PBL model helped foster a more reflective and meaningful approach to learning. Instead of merely memorizing facts or verses from the Quran, students were able to connect these teachings to their personal experiences. For instance, by addressing social issues like honesty, kindness, and respect in group discussions, students could see the practical applications of Islamic values in their daily interactions. This process deepened their faith and strengthened their belief in Allah Swt. as they understood how their actions could align with divine guidance. The research also highlighted the importance of collaboration in enhancing students' spiritual Working in groups allowed students to share their perspectives, discuss ethical issues, and learn from one another's experiences. This collaborative learning environment not only strengthened their understanding of Islamic teachings but also helped create a sense of community and shared values among the students. It encouraged them to see the importance of supporting one another in their spiritual journeys and reinforced the concept of brotherhood and unity in Islam. However, the successful implementation of PBL also presented some challenges. Teachers had to be well-prepared to guide discussions and ensure that students remained focused on the religious aspects of the problems being solved. Additionally, some students initially struggled with the active nature of PBL, as they were used to more passive learning Over time, with proper support and guidance, students adapted to the method, and their faith and understanding of Islamic teachings grew stronger. Overall, the PBL model proved to be an effective tool in enhancing students' faith and understanding of Allah Swt. offering a more engaging and meaningful approach to Islamic education. CONCLUSION Based on the results of the class action research that has been carried out with the title "Application of Problem Based Learning in Islamic Religious Education to Increase Faith in Allah SWT in QS Material.
