The Use of Lumio Media in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) Instruction at Madrasah Aliyah

Abstract

The learning of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and its impact on students’ interest and academic achievement at Madrasah Aliyah were analyzed in this study. Using a quantitative research method, this study explored in depth the integration of technology into religious education practices. The background of this research arises from the rapid development of educational technology and the urgent need to improve the quality of PAI instruction. The study was conducted in a Grade XI class at a Madrasah Aliyah that had previously employed conventional teaching approaches. The findings revealed that the use of Lumio—with interactive features such as digital whiteboards, quizzes, and collaborative tasks—successfully created a more engaging and dynamic learning environment. This media proved effective in improving learning outcomes, as evidenced by the increase in pretest and posttest scores. Moreover, student engagement and learning motivation also increased. These findings support the constructivist theory, which emphasizes the essential role of interactive media in fostering deep understanding. In conclusion, the use of Lumio in PAI instruction not only enhanced academic performance but also provided a more enjoyable and meaningful learning experience for students.
