PRACTICE-BASED FIQH LEARNING TO ENHANCE STUDENTS’ UNDERSTANDING: A CASE STUDY AT MTS AL-MAHRUSIYAH KEDIRI, INDONESIA

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of practice-based fiqh learning in improving students’ understanding at MTs Al-Mahrusiyah Kediri, Indonesia. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. The data were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source and method triangulation. The results indicate that the learning planning was systematically arranged through the preparation of lesson plans (RPP), which included learning objectives, mastery of materials, learning methods, instructional media, and evaluation instruments. The implementation of practice-based fiqh learning was carried out in three main stages: the opening stage (greeting and attendance checking), the core stage (material explanation followed by direct student practice), and the closing stage (reflection and prayer). Evaluation was conducted using written tests, oral assessments, and direct performance assessments. These findings imply that practice-based fiqh learning effectively enhances students’ conceptual and practical understanding and can be applied as an alternative instructional model for Islamic education teachers in madrasah settings.
