The Influence of E-Learning Utilization on Islamic Religious Education Learning Outcomes in Madrasah Tsanawiyah

Abstract

The development of information technology encourages learning transformation, including in the subject of Islamic Religious Education (PAI). Various studies have discussed the implementation of E-Learning in learning, but most of them still focus on the descriptive aspects of the use of digital media and have not specifically tested its effect on the achievement of PAI learning outcomes in the madrasah environment. This gap is what drives the importance of empirical studies based on quantitative data. This study aims to analyze the influence of the use of E-Learning on the learning outcomes of Islamic Religious Education in Madrasah Tsanawiyah. The research uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The research sample amounted to 29 students which were determined through saturated sampling techniques. Data on the utilization of E-Learning was obtained through a Likert scale questionnaire that had been validated using Aiken's V and tested for reliability with Cronbach's Alpha of 0.834. The data on learning outcomes was obtained through the documentation of PAI's daily test scores. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and Product Moment correlation tests. The results of the study show that the use of E-Learning is in the medium to high category, while student learning outcomes are in the good category. The correlation test showed a value of r = 0.648 with a significance of 0.000 < 0.05, which means that there is a positive and significant influence between the use of E-Learning on PAI learning outcomes. These findings confirm that optimizing the use of E-Learning can be a relevant pedagogical strategy in improving students' academic achievement in PAI subjects in madrasas.
