Learning outcomes refer to the abilities that students possess after undergoing learning experiences, including their understanding and knowledge. This study examines the improvement of learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) by implementing differentiated instruction on the topic of Faith in the Messengers of Allah in Grade IV of SD Negeri 8 Limboto Barat, Gorontalo Regency. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR). Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation using research instruments such as teacher activity observation sheets, student activity observation sheets, tests, and student learning outcome sheets. The data analysis technique followed the procedures of classroom action research, employing both descriptive and quantitative analysis. The results of this study show that the implementation of differentiated instruction improved students' learning outcomes in the PAI subject on the topic of Faith in the Messengers of Allah. This improvement can be seen in the increase in teacher activity, which rose from 69% in Cycle I to 100% in Cycle II. Similarly, student learning activity increased from 56% in Cycle I to 83% in Cycle II. Student learning outcomes in PAI also improved significantly. In the pre-cycle phase, only 8 out of 20 students (40%) achieved mastery. This increased to 14 students (70%) in Cycle I with an average mastery score of 78.00, and further improved in Cycle II, with 19 students (95%) achieving mastery and an average score of 85.00.

 This study aims to compare student learning outcomes between digital media-based learning and conventional methods. The research subjects consisted of two classes: Class VIII E as the control class, which learned through lectures, dictation, and summarizing, and Class VIII F as the experimental class, which used PowerPoint, the Kahoot application, and instructional videos. The study was conducted over four meetings within four weeks. Pretests and posttests were used to measure learning improvement and analyzed using the n-gain formula. The results showed that the average n-gain score of the control class was higher than that of the experimental class. This indicates that although the experimental class used interactive digital media, the control class demonstrated better comprehension of the material, most likely due to the summarizing activity that helped students focus and internalize the content more deeply. These findings suggest that conventional methods involving active student engagement through note-taking and summarizing still have high effectiveness in learning, and the implications may serve as a consideration in designing instructional strategies suited to students' learning characteristics.
