IMPLEMENTASI PEMBELAJARAN PAI BERBASIS MIND MAPPING KELAS X DI SMK YPM 12 TUBAN TAHUN PELAJARAN 2025

Abstract

The learning method is one of the external factors that greatly influences students' enthusiasm and motivation during the learning process. One method considered effective in creating an active and enjoyable learning atmosphere is the mind mapping method. This approach encourages students to think creatively by organizing information into a structured visual format, usually through group work involving students with varying levels of ability.The aim of this study is to examine how the mind mapping method is implemented in Islamic Education (PAI) learning for Grade X students at SMK YPM 12 Tuban. Additionally, the research seeks to assess the extent to which this method influences student engagement and their understanding of the learning material.

So far, PAI learning has generally been dominated by the lecture method, which tends to be one-way teachers do most of the talking while students remain passive. Therefore, the implementation of the mind mapping method is expected to serve as an alternative solution to create a more engaging and interactive learning experience. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach in the form of classroom action research (CAR), conducted in a single cycle. The findings indicate that the use of the mind mapping method successfully increased student participation in the learning process. Previously passive students began to show more active involvement, whether in group discussions, constructing the mind map, or presenting their work in front of the class. This suggests that the mind mapping method can be an effective option for improving the quality of Islamic Education learning at the vocational high school level.
