IMPLEMENTASI MEDIA BELAJAR GAMBAR PADA MATA PELAJARAN AL ISLAM ASPEK TARIKH DALAM UPAYA MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN SISWA SMK MUHAMMADIYAH 03 WELERI

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of image learning media in the subject of Al Islam in the
Tarikh aspect as an effort to improve students' understanding at SMK Muhammadiyah 03 Weleri. The
background of this study is based on the low interest and understanding of students in Islamic history
material due to monotonous and uninteresting lecture methods. By using a qualitative approach through
the case study method, data were obtained from direct observation and interviews with teachers and
students. The results of the study showed that the use of image media had a positive impact on several
aspects of learning, including: increasing the effectiveness of class mastery, fostering student learning
motivation, deepening understanding of the material, and creating an interactive and enjoyable learning
atmosphere. Referring to Edgar Dale's Cone of Experience theory, it is proven that visual media can
significantly increase students' absorption. Therefore, image media can be used as an alternative effective
and relevant learning strategy in improving the quality of education, especially in Islamic history
material at the vocational high school level.
