Menstrual Fiqh.
Learning Comprehension.
Islamic Education INTRODUCTION The advancement of technology in today's era is evident in many aspects, one of which can be seen in the field of education that utilizes educational media as a guide or source of information and materials in the learning process.
Therefore, when using it, one must choose the appropriate and suitable media for the teaching process.
Islamic Religious Education is one of the important pillars in the development of individuals with noble character and honesty.
One form of Islamic education is through the study of fiqh.
The study of fiqh in schools is a fundamental component that encompasses Islamic law and teaches how to implement it.
Therefore, the study of fiqh must be carefully considered in relation to the understanding of the students.
The most important knowledge for a woman is the knowledge about menstruation for someone who has reached the age of maturity and experiences menstruation.
Media can also be defined as a bridge between the provider and the recipient of information.
Menstruation is the blood that flows from a woman's genitalia in a healthy state and is not due to childbirth or the breaking of the hymen.
A woman who experiences menstruation is someone who has reached adulthood and is therefore obligated to perform mandatory acts of worship such as prayer, fasting, covering the body, and other obligations.
If a student neglects mandatory duties, such as skipping prayer, they bear the burden of their own sins.
Many students still feel confused about menstruation.
This is especially true for students who still lack understanding regarding Therefore, the process of understanding the material on menstruation in schools becomes very important.
The hope arising from this understanding is that students can comprehend menstruation and the laws related to the issues surrounding it.

The use of PowerPoint media refers to the selection of methods, models, and materials to enhance learning outcomes.
Miftahul Muthoharoh, in her research, concluded that the utilization of media, specifically the use of PowerPoint, aims to leverage learning resources to achieve educational objectives.
The process of utilizing media should be based on the specifications of the desired learning design.
The principles of utilization are also related to the characteristics of the students.
PowerPoint serves as an effective learning medium due to its ability to present material in an interactive and engaging manner, thereby enhancing students' understanding and memory However, educators are required to design strategies for utilizing PowerPoint creatively and innovatively so that its maximum potential can be fully optimized to improve the quality of learning across various levels and fields of study.
PowerPoint, especially when utilized interactively, becomes an effective learning tool in the field of humanities, such as fiqh studies.
Its use has been shown to enhance learning outcomes, foster student motivation, and make the learning process more engaging, provided that both educators and students receive adequate support in its operation.
PowerPoint media can enhance student engagement and motivation through the presentation of material that is visually appealing and interactive.
Elements such as images, graphics, audio, animations, and hyperlinks make the learning process more dynamic and less monotonous, encouraging students to be more enthusiastic in following and understanding the material.
Not only does it beautify the presentation, but appropriate visualization also helps students build stronger conceptual connections, especially in subjects that are abstract or narrative in nature, such as humanities and religious education.
Thus.
PowerPoint not only serves as a teaching aid but also acts as a catalyst for pedagogical transformation towards a more communicative and participatory learning approach.
The interactive teaching and learning process using media can influence student learning outcomes, allowing educational objectives to be achieved.
Interactive PowerPoint presentations incorporating multimedia elements such as animations, quizzes, and interactive links have proven effective in enhancing students' understanding and memory retention of the learning material, both in the fields of humanities and religious education.
Several studies have shown a significant improvement in exam results and learning outcomes when PowerPoint is used as a learning medium, compared to conventional methods, with effectiveness levels ranging from moderate to high.
The implementation of PowerPoint media in modern education, particularly in Islamic Religious Education, has proven to yield higher academic achievements, increased student engagement, and the development of more positive attitudes compared to conventional methods.
The shift towards a technology-based interactive learning model is a strategic response to the demands of the times, which require active participation and independence from students.
The success of this transformation heavily relies on teachers' readiness, both in mastering technology and in designing innovative and meaningful learning scenarios.
Therefore, ongoing training and institutional support are key factors in ensuring that PowerPoint serves not just as a presentation tool, but as a transformative pedagogical instrument.
The use of interactive PowerPoint media has empirically shown a significant positive impact on improving student performance.
In the learning of Aqidah Akhlak, for example, the average student score increased from 69.
70 in the pre-test using traditional methods to 85.
29 in the post-test after the implementation of PowerPoint as a learning Another study revealed that before the use of PowerPoint, only about 14Ae23% of ICONTESS Volume 1 No 1, 2025 https://jurnal.
id/index.
php/icontess students were able to meet the learning competency standards.
however, this figure drastically increased after this approach was applied.
These findings indicate that PowerPoint is not just a visual aid, but also a strategic medium capable of enhancing conceptual understanding and overall learning outcomes, especially when used systematically and contextually by competent educators.
The use of media like this is akin to the verse from the Qur'an found in Surah Al-Nahl: 44:
"We sent them with clear signs .
and scriptures.
The conclusion in the learning of fiqh related to menstruation in class X at Sultan Agung 3 High School is relevant to the objectives of using media, as well as the skills and creativity of the teacher or presenter, while considering the level and background of the students.
Supporting and Hindering Factors in the Utilization of PowerPoint Media PowerPoint media can help students understand menstruation.
Students find it easier to grasp the material presented through engaging visual media.
The interactive elements make the learning process more interesting, which in turn motivates and energizes students in their studies.
The supporting factors in the learning of fiqh related to menstruation need to be backed by three aspects, as fulfilled at Sultan Agung 3 Islamic High School in this fiqh learning.
These three aspects are adequate facilities and infrastructure, student interest, and sufficient teacher The success of integrating PowerPoint media in Islamic Education is greatly influenced by the availability of adequate supporting facilities.
, a high level of student motivation.
, as well as the professional competence of teachers in designing and delivering the material.
When these three elements work synergistically.
PowerPoint can transform learning into a more interactive, attractive experience that significantly impacts students' understanding and In this context.
PowerPoint not only serves as a supplement but also functions as a pedagogical bridge between technology and the religious values conveyed in a contextual and meaningful way.
On the other hand, the hindering factors in the learning of fiqh related to menstruation in class X at Sultan Agung 3 High School include issues such as occasional power outages, short class hours for Islamic Education, and inadequate facilities and infrastructure.
According to research conducted by Warkitin et al.
from STKIP Persada Khatulistiwa Sintang in 2022, it is stated that when educational facilities and infrastructure are insufficient, the teaching and learning process will inevitably be disrupted.
There are other factors that also hinder the learning process of fiqh related to menstruation in this school, namely the limited class hours for Islamic Education.
The third factor that poses a challenge to the learning of fiqh related to menstruation in this school is the weak discipline among students.
Based on the researcherAos observations, it was found that many students do not take the lessons seriously and often arrive late to class.
Additionally, during the lessons, some students are preoccupied with playing on their gadgets or chatting with friends, which causes them to not pay attention to the teacher's explanations.
These issues related to student discipline can negatively impact the students' understanding of the material.
Although PowerPoint offers many advantages in supporting the learning process, some students still face challenges, particularly due to limited technological skills or a lack of understanding of its features.
This underscores the importance of the teacher's role in providing guidance, training, and ongoing technical support.
The effectiveness of using PowerPoint will be optimally achieved when supported by a positive and participatory learning culture, as well as the implementation of active and contextual teaching strategies.
With this combination.
PowerPoint can function not only as a visual aid but also as a medium to encourage collaboration, exploration, and critical thinking in learning.
