The Implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Model Assisted by Quizizz Media in Religious Education Subjects

Abstract

Religious Education learning at junior high schools still faces challenges related to low student participation and learning motivation, thus requiring innovative learning models and media. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by Quizizz media in Religious Education learning at SMPN 61 Bengkulu Utara and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in its application. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving Religious Education teachers and eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings indicate that the PBL model assisted by Quizizz was implemented through stages of problem identification, solution planning, problem solving, and reflection. Quizizz functioned as an interactive learning medium as well as a formative assessment tool that enhanced student motivation and participation. Supporting factors included teacher competence, student motivation, and access to technology, while inhibiting factors involved limited technological facilities, insufficient teacher digital competence, low student motivation, and time constraints. This study concludes that the integration of PBL and Quizizz contributes positively to improving the quality of Religious Education learning and offers practical implications for innovative instructional practices.
