Meaningful Learning Through The Innovation of Kit I-Sir in Islamic Education

Abstract

Meaningful Learning involves an interactive learning culture and climate, meaning students are actively and meaningfully involved. The KIT i-SIR was produced to meet the combination of pedagogical practices and innovative practices in the classroom to improve, drive and add value to learning. KIT i-SIR is an Innovation Teaching Aid (BBM) developed for the field of Sirah which is one of the fields in Islamic Education. The Sirah field is a field that challenges the student's mind to remember the important contents of a topic. Thus, this i-SIR KIT was produced to make it easier for students to recall the stories delivered by the teacher easily, correctly and cheerfully. The teacher has injected an element of innovation by using the coordinate method in this i-SIR KIT, in which the students have to place the important magnetic contents on the coordinate board provided according to the coordinates or numbers that have been set based on the set of stories given. Then the students will read in groups and re-copy the important contents in the blank brochure as an individual written exercise. This gives a difference to the students because the exercises are not written in existing notebooks. Then students can color and beautify the brochure according to their creativity. After that, the brochure can be used as a pocket note to make it easier for students to review at any time. So, with this KIT i-SIR, students will have more fun in learning Sirah because it involves game activities and art elements that can involve all levels of students, i.e. weak, average and excellent students in groups. Therefore, the use of this KIT i-SIR is able to stimulate cognitive, psychomotor and affective students in learning Sirah that meets the characteristics of learning activities of the 21st century (PAK 21).
