This research is motivated by the learning of Islamic Cultural History (SKI) which still focuses on memorization so that students are not able to understand the relationship between events in depth. This study aims to describe the application of conceptual dimension development to increase the effectiveness of SKI learning in grade VIII at MTs Syi'ar Islam Maibit. The method used is descriptive qualitative through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation studies. The research informants included SKI teachers, grade VIII students, and deputy heads of madrasas in the curriculum field who were selected purposively. The results of the study show that students already recognize basic historical facts in the material of the Abbasid, Ayyubid, and Mamluk dynasties, but are still weak in understanding the interconnectedness of concepts, analyzing cause and effect, and connecting historical events to the broader social context. Conceptual dimension mapping reveals that the aspects that need to be improved the most are analytical skills and the ability to structure knowledge sequentially. This study concludes that strengthening the conceptual dimension through visual media, concept maps, and analytical activities can help students understand SKI material more deeply and make learning more active and meaningful for the formation of students' character.

This study aims to determine the appropriate choice of Fiqh learning media for eighth-grade students at MTs Manbail Futuh Jenu. The background of this study is the low ability of students to remember Fiqh material due to the dominant use of lectures and textbooks. The method used in this study was descriptive qualitative, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research findings indicate that the majority of students prefer audio-visual, visual, and interactive learning media such as videos, animations, illustrative images, flashcards, and educational games. The use of these media facilitates students' understanding and retention of practical Fiqh material, such as ablution, tayammum, and prayer. Conversely, the use of lectures without engaging media quickly causes students to become bored and struggle to retain the material. This study concludes that selecting learning media that aligns with students' preferences can improve their memory and comprehension of Fiqh material.

This study aims to analyze the use of video media in visualizing Islamic values in the teaching of Aqidah and Akhlak at MA Al Manshuriyah Pagelaran. The study is grounded in the need for a more contextual, engaging, and relevant learning approach for the digital generation, particularly in delivering concepts such as monotheism, proper conduct, and social morality. A descriptive quantitative method was employed involving 24 students using questionnaires and classroom observations. The findings indicate that video media enhances student engagement, clarifies the understanding of abstract concepts, and fosters a more interactive learning atmosphere. The visualization of Islamic values through video enables students to comprehend commendable behavior more concretely and in relation to their daily experiences. The study implies that video-based learning is an effective strategy to strengthen value internalization in Aqidah and Akhlak teaching and is recommended for continuous integration into instructional practices.

In the modern era of education, the focus of learning has shifted from teacher orientation to student orientation. As educators, it is important to design learning methods that are in accordance with technological developments. Today, learning that is too teacher-centered and theoretical tends to reduce student interest. Therefore, the use of audio-visual media such as learning videos can increase student engagement, provide deep meaning, and arouse high enthusiasm for learning. This study aims to 1) explain the level of student enthusiasm when using audio-visual learning media, and 2) evaluate the impact and interest of students on audio-visual based learning media in the learning process. This research was conducted at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Ibn Aqil Pekanbaru. This research is a descriptive qualitative research that uses data collection methods in the form of direct observation, interviews, and literature studies. Research findings show that lecture-dominated learning tends to make learners lose interest and focus on themselves. The results of the study showed that 1) when students were introduced to the use of audio-visual media such as learning videos, most of them felt very enthusiastic and excited in following the learning process, while only one student showed less interest. 2) Thus, it can be concluded that the use of audio-visual learning media can increase student enthusiasm at the elementary school level.
