INTRODUCTION Learning in elementary school is an important foundation in building student competence to understand various aspects of science, including Islamic religious education. One of the competencies that needs to be instilled from an early age is an understanding of the content and meaning of Qur'anic verses, such as Q. Al-Hujurat/49:13, which teaches the values of brotherhood, equality, and respect for differences. However, in reality, learning Qur'an verses in grade IV elementary school often still faces various obstacles. Based on initial observations at SD Negeri No 102078 Block Zero Jangga, it was found that the learning outcomes of students in the material Q. Al-Hujurat/49:13 were still low. This can be seen from the low daily test scores of students and the lack of student involvement in the learning process. One of the main causes is the use of conventional learning methods that are monotonous so that they do not attract students' attention. As a result, students find it difficult to understand the content and moral message of the verse. Problem Based Learning (PBL) is one of the innovative learning models that can be used to overcome these problems. This model puts students at the center of learning and encourages them to actively participate in problem-solving. In the context of learning Q. Al-Hujurat/49:13. PBL allows students to explore the meaning of verses in depth through exploration, discussion, and collaboration. However, the implementation of this model requires interesting supporting media to maximize student engagement. (Slavin. Puzzle media was chosen as a tool in the PBL model because of its interactive and fun nature. Puzzles can increase the attractiveness of learning while honing students' critical thinking skills. using puzzles, students can learn the content of Qur'anic verses gradually, while compiling relevant pieces of information. This not only improves students' understanding of the material, but also helps them develop analytical and teamwork skills. Implementing the PBL model with media puzzle It is expected to improve student learning outcomes, especially in cognitive and affective aspects. In learning Q. Al-Hujurat/49:13, students are not only expected to be able to memorize verses, but also understand their meaning and apply their values in daily life. Therefore, an interesting and effective learning strategy is an urgent need. The context of this research is also relevant to the need for a curriculum that emphasizes activity-based learning and real experiences. By actively involving students in learning, it is hoped that a more meaningful learning atmosphere will be created. In addition, the application of creative media such as puzzles can be an alternative solution to overcome students' boredom with conventional learning methods. This research aims to make a real contribution to improving the quality of learning at SD Negeri No 102078 Block Zero Jangga, especially in the material Q. Al-Hujurat/49:13. In addition, this research is also expected to be a model for other teachers in developing more innovative and effective learning strategies. By combining PBL models and puzzle media, this research not only focuses on improving student learning outcomes, but also on developing their characters. The values contained in Q. Al-Hujurat/49:13 such as brotherhood and respect for differences are expected to be the basis for students in building harmonious social Based on the description of the problems that have been submitted above, the author needs to conduct a study in the form of Classroom Action Research with the title "Implementation of Problem Based Learning Model with Puzzle Media to Improve the Learning Outcomes of Grade IV Students in Q.

Working in groups to solve the puzzle challenges creates an opportunity for students to discuss the meaning of the verse, share their perspectives, and build on each otherAos ideas. This collaborative approach enhances their understanding of the Quranic message, as they must critically analyze the verse and work together to find solutions to the problems posed by the puzzle. Additionally, it helps students to improve their teamwork and communication skills, which are valuable both in and outside the classroom. Furthermore, the PBL model with puzzle media also promotes active engagement and motivation. Students were observed to be more enthusiastic about learning compared to traditional methods, as the puzzle format made the lesson feel like an interactive game. The hands-on approach helped maintain students' attention and interest in the subject, making the learning process more enjoyable. This increased level of motivation positively impacted students' comprehension of the Quranic verse, as they were more eager to explore its meaning and apply its teachings in their lives. Despite the positive outcomes, the use of puzzle media in PBL also presented certain challenges. Teachers had to carefully design puzzles that were both educational and appropriate for the students' cognitive levels. Ensuring that the puzzle effectively conveyed the lessonAos objectives while being engaging for students was essential. Additionally, some students initially faced difficulties in understanding how to work with the puzzle media, requiring additional guidance and support. However, as the activity progressed, students adapted and began to independently navigate the problem-solving process. In conclusion, the integration of the Problem-Based Learning model with puzzle media in teaching Q. Al-Hujurat/49:13 has proven to be a highly effective method for enhancing students' understanding and engagement in Islamic By encouraging critical thinking, collaboration, and active participation, this approach allows students to connect with the material on a deeper level.
