Efektivitas Metode Pembelajaran TGT dalam Meningkatkan Partisipasi Siswa pada Mata Pelajaran PAI di SMPN 9 Pasuruan

Abstract

This study is motivated by the low level of student participation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at SMPN 9 Pasuruan, which affects the effectiveness of the learning process and outcomes. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) learning method in improving student participation. This research employs a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a pretest-posttest control group model. The subjects consist of two classes: an experimental class applying the TGT method and a control class using conventional teaching methods. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and documentation. The results indicate a significant improvement in student participation in the class using the TGT method compared to the control class. This is reflected in increased student engagement in asking questions, responding, discussing, and actively participating in learning activities. The implication of this study suggests that the TGT method can serve as an effective alternative teaching strategy to enhance student participation, particularly in PAI subjects at the junior high school level.
