The Role and Contribution of Interns and PAI Teachers in Learning Development at SMAN 1 Nuhon

Abstract

The role and contribution of interns and Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in the development of learning at SMAN 1 Nuhon aims to improve the effectiveness of teaching methods and students' understanding of PAI material. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with observation, interviews, and documentation analysis methods. The results show that PPL participants brought innovations to the learning process through more interactive methods, such as group discussions and the use of digital media. Students responded positively to the new methods implemented, with about 85% feeling that they found it easier to understand the material compared to conventional methods. However, the main challenges faced were limited time and the minimal involvement of PPL participants in lesson planning. Therefore, increasing the duration of PPL and integrating participants into the preparation of lesson plans could be an effective strategy to enhance their contribution to PAI learning
