EFEKTIVITAS METODE DISKUSI KELOMPOK PADA PEMBELAJARAN FIQIH

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the group discussion method in Fiqh learning for grade XI students at MAN 1 Pasaman Barat. The background of this research is based on the low level of student participation and motivation due to the teacher-centered learning approach. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects were the Fiqh teacher and grade XI students. The findings indicate that the implementation of the group discussion method was effective in increasing student engagement during the learning process. Students became more active, confident in expressing opinions, and demonstrated good teamwork within their groups. Furthermore, the discussion method positively influenced students’ critical thinking and communication skills. Although there were some obstacles such as varying levels of student participation and limited time, overall, the group discussion method proved to be effective in creating an interactive and meaningful learning environment. Therefore, this method can be recommended as an alternative learning strategy to enhance the quality of Fiqh education in madrasahs.
