THE EFFECT OF THE DEMONSTRATION METHOD ON WUDHU LEARNING OUTCOMES OF GRADE 2 STUDENTS AT UPT SD NEGERI 064965 MEDAN TIMUR

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the demonstration method on the learning outcomes of Grade 2 students in learning wudhu at UPT SD Negeri 064965 Medan Timur. The main problem underlying this research is the low level of students’ practical understanding in performing the correct wudhu movements. This research employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest model. The research sample consisted of all Grade 2 students, totaling 30 learners. Data were collected through written tests to measure cognitive aspects and observation sheets to assess psychomotor aspects. The results showed a significant increase in the average post-test score compared to the pre-test score. Data analysis indicates that the demonstration method has a positive impact on the effectiveness of learning wudhu material. In conclusion, the consistent application of the demonstration method can improve students’ learning outcomes and the quality of worship practices at the elementary school level.
