Canva-Based Interactive Learning Media for Islamic Religious Education Subjects

Abstract

This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using Canva-based interactive learning media in increasing students' understanding and participation in Islamic Religious Education subjects. The research method applied was a pretest-posttest experimental design using a control group and an experimental group. During the research, students from both groups were introduced to the learning material through conventional methods at first, but the experimental group was then given access to interactive learning media based on Canva. The results of the study showed a significant increase in understanding of the material and the level of participation of students in the experimental group compared to the control group. Statistical analysis showed significant differences between pretest and posttest within the experimental group, while the control group showed more limited improvement. This increase included aspects of understanding Islamic religious concepts as well as the level of student activity in the learning process. Implications include an in-depth analysis of Canva's effectiveness as a learning medium, challenges that teachers and students may face during its implementation, and suggestions for further development. The implication of this research was that Canva can be considered an effective tool in improving the quality of Islamic Religious Education learning, integrating interactive elements that motivate students to be more involved in learning.

Islamic Religious Education Learning Media in the Technology Era: A Systematic Literature Review

“…an example; Youtube (Nawwaroh, Istikomah, and Rashed 2022), Tiktok (Andrianto 2021a;Kharismatunisa 2023;Muvid et al 2023;Tanjung and Mardianto 2023), Whatsapp (Anggraeni and Maryanti 2021;Asdlori 2023). Additionally, one can utilize Canva media to incorporate knowledge of Islamic religious education and current events into their curriculum (Nabillah and Tanjung 2023;Saribujang, Sukino, and Mahrus 2023). The preceding analysis of the distribution of learning media indicates that in the technological age, Islamic religious education teachers have significantly enhanced the delivery of content to students through the use of technologybased learning media, both with and without internet connections.…”
