This research aims to improve students' understanding of learning in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects through the application of the Direct Instruction learning model. Direct Instruction is a structured and systematic teaching method, which aims to provide direct and clear instructions to students. In this research, an experiment was carried out in a middle school involving two groups of students: an experimental group that used the Direct Instruction model and a control group that used conventional learning methods. The research results showed that students taught using the Direct Instruction model experienced a significant increase in understanding compared to students taught using the conventional method. This is shown by an increase in comprehension test scores before and after intervention in the experimental group. In addition, observations and interviews with students show that the Direct Instruction model helps them understand the material more effectively and increases involvement in the teaching and learning process. The conclusion of this research is that the Direct Instruction learning model is effective in increasing students' learning understanding in PAI subjects. Implementation of this model can be an alternative for teachers to improve the quality of learning and students' understanding of the subject matter.

The objective of this research to identify the faced by the seventh grade students’ at MTsN Tanjung Balai, to identify the causes of students' difficulties in improving vocabulary mastery of seventh grade students at MTsN Tanjung Balai in the 2023/2024 academic year. The population was 54 students and the researcher took a 2 class random sampling design, namely: control class and experimental class to carry out pre-test post-test. Material about describing something. In collecting data, researchers used tests to apply the song mnemonic method for several weeks and compared the pre-test and post-test to determine the effect of applying the song mnemonic method. Then the data obtained was analyzed through five stages, namely normality test, homogeneity test, hypothesis test, effect size test and statistical hypothesis. Finally the researcher found that it showed that the value of the T-test was 7.659 and the degree of freedom (df) was 54 (df-2;54-2=52). The value of T is significant 5% of T-table of db= 2.00. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. It can be concluded that the influence of using the song mnemonic method has an influence on increasing students' mastery of English vocabulary. So the suggestion is that teachers must be more creative in developing appropriate learning methods to be taught to support effective learning activities in the classroom.

The maintenance of education must be tailored to the needs and interests of students so that they learn something that interests them. Therefore, today's educational systems focus educational objectives and processes on the child's factor and can foster freedom of interests and needs. This makes the Social Science subjects taught in primary school must be based on the needs and interests of the child about the environment in which he lives. Basically, the subject of Social Science must be taught with a full sense of responsibility to the student, because it is very closely related to the people and the environment where humans live and carry out the activities to meet their needs. This makes the role of the teacher not only as a teacher but also as a guide and at the same time as an administrator. The personal teacher as a unit also determines the learning result given. Therefore, the component of the teaching situation, the correct delivery method and the media used also determine the learning outcome.Thus it can be concluded, that learning will be successful when considering many interrelated teaching components. These components can be grouped into three main categories, namely: first, the teacher, second, the subject matter, and third, the student. The interaction between the three main components involves the means and objects, methods, media and setting up of the learning environment so that a learning situation is created that enables the achievement of a previously planned goal.
