STRATEGI PEMBELAJARAN PAI BERDIFERENSIASI DALAM MENDUKUNG PEMAHAMAN KEBERAGAMAN SISWA DI SD NEGERI 3 TAMBAKRIGADUNG

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This study examines differentiated Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning strategies as an effort to accommodate the diverse characteristics of elementary school students. Differences in learning styles, prior knowledge, interests, and student backgrounds require teachers to implement instructional strategies that effectively address students' diverse learning needs. The objective of this study is to analyse the planning, implementation, and effectiveness of differentiated IRE learning strategies in supporting the learning process of students with diverse characteristics. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of instructional documents. Data were analysed using the interactive analysis model, which included data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while the trustworthiness of the data was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that teachers implemented differentiated instruction in terms of content, process, and product according to students' characteristics, resulting in improved student participation, learning motivation, and understanding of Islamic Religious Education. Nevertheless, the implementation of differentiated instruction was constrained by limited instructional time, variations in teachers' competence in designing differentiated learning activities, and inadequate instructional media. The study concludes that differentiated Islamic Religious Education learning strategies are effective in creating a more inclusive, adaptive, and student-centred learning environment. These strategies enable teachers to accommodate diverse learning needs while enhancing the overall quality of Islamic Religious Education learning at the elementary school level.

ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini mengkaji strategi pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) berdiferensiasi sebagai upaya mendukung keberagaman karakteristik siswa di sekolah dasar. Keberagaman gaya belajar, kemampuan awal, minat, dan latar belakang siswa menuntut guru menerapkan strategi pembelajaran yang mampu mengakomodasi kebutuhan belajar secara optimal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis perencanaan, pelaksanaan, serta efektivitas strategi pembelajaran PAI berdiferensiasi dalam mendukung proses belajar siswa yang beragam. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Data diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam dengan guru dan siswa, serta analisis dokumen pembelajaran. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan model interaktif yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan, sedangkan keabsahan data diperkuat melalui triangulasi sumber dan teknik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa guru menerapkan diferensiasi pada aspek konten, proses, dan produk pembelajaran sesuai dengan karakteristik siswa sehingga meningkatkan partisipasi, motivasi, serta pemahaman materi PAI. Meskipun demikian, implementasi strategi ini masih menghadapi kendala berupa keterbatasan waktu, variasi kemampuan guru dalam menyusun pembelajaran berdiferensiasi, dan keterbatasan media pendukung. Disimpulkan bahwa strategi pembelajaran PAI berdiferensiasi efektif dalam menciptakan pembelajaran yang lebih inklusif, adaptif, dan berpusat pada siswa sehingga mampu mengakomodasi keberagaman kebutuhan belajar sekaligus meningkatkan kualitas proses pembelajaran PAI di sekolah dasar.
