Abstract

This research discusses the influence of the Collaborative Learning approach in Islamic Religious Education to enhance spiritual competence and exemplary behavior among 3rd-grade students at SDN Inpres Bajo. The problem faced is the lack of effective learning methods to improve students' spiritual competence and exemplary behavior in the context of Islamic Religious Education. The aim of this research is to determine the influence of the Collaborative Learning approach in enhancing students' spiritual competence and exemplary behavior. The research methodology used is a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest. The sample consists of 22 3rd-grade students at SDN Inpres Bajo. Research instruments include tests of spiritual competence and exemplary behavior, as well as observations of the learning process. The Collaborative Learning approach was applied in Islamic Religious Education emphasizing cooperation, communication, problem-solving, responsibility, and creativity. The results show that the Collaborative Learning approach has a significant influence on enhancing students' spiritual competence and exemplary behavior. The improvement is evident from the significant difference between pretest and posttest results. Observations of the learning process indicate that students are more active and engaged in learning with the Collaborative Learning approach. Thus, it can be concluded that the Collaborative Learning approach is effective in enhancing the spiritual competence and exemplary behavior of 3rd-grade students at SDN Inpres Bajo in Islamic Religious Education.
