Abstract

This study aims to determine the application of the Reciprocal Teaching learning model and the improvement of students' Qur'an reading skills and understanding in Islamic Religious Education subjects at NU Sibaruang Elementary School. This study uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method which is implemented in two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study were 30 sixth-grade students of NU Sibaruang Elementary School. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, tests, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out descriptively quantitatively and qualitatively to see the improvement in student learning outcomes in each cycle. The results showed that the application of the Reciprocal Teaching learning model was able to improve students' Qur'an reading skills and understanding. This can be seen from the increase in the average value of student learning outcomes. In the pre-cycle stage, the average student score was 66 with a learning completion percentage of 48%. After the actions were carried out in cycle I, the average score increased to 73 with a learning completion of 66%. Furthermore, in cycle II, the average score increased to 85 with a learning completion reaching 89%. Furthermore, student learning activities also improved, as indicated by increased student participation in reading, discussing, and explaining learning materials. The implementation of the Reciprocal Teaching learning model can improve students' Quran reading skills and understanding in Islamic Religious Education learning at NU Sibaruang Elementary School. This learning model can be used as an alternative, effective learning strategy to improve the quality of Islamic Religious Education learning in elementary schools.
