Education has a very important role in improving the quality of human resources. To achieve this goal, the education provided must be of high quality, which can be measured from two aspects: process quality and product quality (Sudjana, 2. Education is considered quality in terms of the process if teaching and learning activities (PBM) take place effectively and students get meaningful learning Meanwhile, education is called quality in terms of products if students show high mastery of the material studied, in accordance with the educational goals that have been set, which can be seen from their academic results. The Cooperative Learning learning model is one of the models that supports contextual learning. Cooperative Learning can be described as a structured group work system, which consists of five main elements: positive interdependence, individual responsibility, personal interaction, cooperation ability, and group process (Slavin, 2. Improvement of student learning outcomes can be achieved if the learning carried out is meaningful, namely learning that is able to actively involve students both physically, mentally, intellectually, and emotionally. This is highly dependent on the teacher's ability to teach. A teacher is said to be competent in teaching if he has a good understanding of various teaching methods and their practical application, as well as other abilities that support the process. Achieving high learning outcomes is the expectation of all students, teachers, and parents. In an effort to achieve this, teachers try their best by managing learning activities as best as possible. However, learning outcomes are often not as expected, as can be seen from the results of formative exams or semester exams. A learning can be called successful if the level of student mastery of the material reaches 70% or more. Typically, the level of This mastery is measured using values. For this reason, the teacher's task is to create conducive learning activities so that learning objectives can be achieved optimally. So far. Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning in grade i with the material "Happy Ramadan Fasting" tends to use the lecture method, where the teacher delivers the material while the students only listen, take notes, and memorize. This method makes learning monotonous and less attractive to students. As a result, students do not develop in their understanding of the PAI material, and the final results achieved are not as expected. In grade i, students are still less active in asking and answering, and their learning results are far from satisfactory, with low indicative (December 16, 2024, 08:. Based on the analysis of the situation above, the author feels the need to innovate in learning. PAI education has a very important role in shaping the character of students, who are expected to be able to face various life challenges with a strong mentality. Therefore. PAI teaching must be accompanied by innovations that support the improvement of student understanding. If students play a more active role in learning, then this study aims to improve student understanding through a cooperative learning Cooperative learning is an effective teaching approach in achieving educational goals, especially in improving students' interpersonal skills. It is hoped that with this learning model, students can better understand PAI material and develop a spirit of togetherness in mastering the material. The problem to be solved in this study is the teacher's efforts in improving student learning outcomes in PAI subjects. There are various factors that can potentially cause this problem. Based on joint reflection between teachers, it was identified that the main cause of this problem is the use of conventional learning strategies, with the dominance of teachers in the classroom too From the results of observations in grade i of SDN 19 Perlabian Plantation. Kampung Rakyat District, with a total of 19 students, only 5 . %) students managed to achieve the minimum completeness criteria (KKM), while 14 . %) students have not achieved KKM in PAI subjects with the material "The Joy of Ramadan Fasting". Based on this background, a class action research entitled "The Application of Cooperative Learning to Improve Student Learning Outcomes in the Joy of Ramadan Fasting Materials for PAI Class i Subjects SDN 19 Perlabian Plantation. South Labuhanbatu Regency ". METHODS This research involved teachers and students of grade i of SD Negeri 19 Perlabian Plantation, which is located in Kampung Rakyat District.

Student Activeness, students' activeness in group discussions increased compared to before the study, but there were still some students who were less participatory. , most students showed higher interest in learning compared to conventional learning methods. Material comprehension, the results of the post-test show an increase in scores compared to the pre-test, even though it has not reached the target of classical completeness of 85%, some students still have difficulty understanding the material "The Joy of Ramadan Fasting", especially in the aspect of applying values in daily life. Obstacles Encountered. Not all students actively contribute to group discussions. Some students need more intensive guidance to complete group assignments. Learning instructions from teachers are sometimes not clearly understood by students. Although there is an increase in learning outcomes, the results have not been satisfactory. This is the basis for making improvements in Cycle II. Meanwhile, the results of the second cycle of research include. Student Activity. Students are more actively involved in group discussions compared to Cycle I. All students showed increased courage to ask questions, answer, and express opinions during learning. Material Comprehension. the post-test results in Cycle II showed a significant improvement compared to Cycle I. Classical completeness reaches more than 85%, which meets the research target. Students are able to apply the values of "Happy Fasting Ramadhan" in group activities and class discussions. Obstacles that can be overcome. The use of more interesting learning media helps students understand the material better. Teacher's instructions are more structured so that students can follow learning activities smoothly. The application of the Cooperative Learning model has been proven to be effective in improving student learning outcomes, and student learning outcomes are not only cognitively improved, but also in affective aspects such as cooperation and learning motivation. The results of the action in Cycle I show that the application of the Cooperative Learning model is starting to have a positive impact, although the results are not optimal. Only 50% of students achieved a score above KKM . Some of the main obstacles found. Students' activity is still low because they are not used to group work. Cooperation in groups has not been effective, with some students tending to be passive. The learning media used does not attract students' attention. Reflection from this cycle indicates the need for improvement, such as using more engaging media and providing clearer guidance for group tasks. Meanwhile, in Cycle II, there was a significant increase with 85% of students achieving scores above KKM. The improvements made succeeded in overcoming previous obstacles. Student activity increased after teachers used videos and images as learning media. Group cooperation improves because each student is given a clear role . hairman, recorder, and presente. Discussions are more effective, and students are more confident when presenting the results of group work. Conclusion The Results of Improvement Actions from Cycle I to Cycle show that the Cooperative Learning model is effective in improving learning outcomes and student Engaging learning media, clear guidance, and the division of roles in groups are key to success. The obstacles faced in Cycle I were successfully overcome, and the learning objectives were achieved in Cycle II. DISCUSSION The implementation of the Cooperative Learning model in Islamic education at SD Negeri 19 Perkebunan Perlabian has shown positive impacts on students' learning outcomes. Unlike traditional lecture-based instruction. Cooperative Learning emphasizes collaboration, where students work together in small groups to achieve learning This approach fosters active participation, allowing students to engage in discussions, share knowledge, and support one another in understanding Islamic As a result, students become more motivated and involved in the learning process. One of the key benefits of Cooperative Learning is its ability to enhance students' comprehension of Islamic teachings. Through structured group activities, students are encouraged to analyze religious concepts, interpret Quranic verses, and discuss the application of Islamic values in daily life. This interactive process helps deepen their understanding and makes learning more meaningful, as students are not only passive recipients of knowledge but also active contributors in the classroom. Moreover. Cooperative Learning helps develop students' social and communication skills. By working in groups, students learn to express their thoughts clearly, listen to different perspectives, and respect their peers' opinions. These skills are crucial in Islamic education, as they align with the values of cooperation, mutual respect, and unity that Islam promotes. Additionally, students who may struggle with certain topics receive support from their peers, creating an inclusive learning environment where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. Despite its advantages, the implementation of Cooperative Learning also presents some challenges. Teachers need to carefully plan group activities, ensuring that each student contributes and benefits equally from the process. Some students may initially face difficulties in adjusting to group-based learning, especially those who are more accustomed to individual tasks. However, with proper guidance and structured activities, students gradually adapt, and the overall effectiveness of the learning process improves. Overall, the findings suggest that the application of Cooperative Learning in Islamic education at SD Negeri 19 Perkebunan Perlabian significantly enhances students' academic performance and engagement. By fostering collaboration, critical thinking, and active participation, this method provides a more dynamic and effective way of teaching Islamic subjects. With continuous teacher support and well-designed lesson plans. Cooperative Learning can serve as a valuable strategy to improve students' understanding and application of Islamic teachings in their daily lives. CONCLUSION Based on the results of the research and discussion that has been carried out, it can be concluded as follows. Effectiveness of the Cooperative Learning Model.
