Efektivitas Pembelajaran Zakat Di SMP Nurul Huda Sunter Agung Jakarta

Abstract

Zakat instruction, as an essential component of Islamic Religious Education, plays a significant role in developing students' understanding, attitudes, and awareness of their obligation to perform zakat. Therefore, an effective learning process is necessary to achieve the intended educational objectives. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of zakat learning at SMP Nurul Huda Sunter Agung, North Jakarta. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews with the principal, Islamic Religious Education teachers, and students, as well as documentation. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of zakat learning is influenced by teachers' preparedness in mastering the subject matter, the use of varied instructional methods, the utilization of learning media, the availability of school facilities, and students' active participation during the learning process. Although several challenges remain, including limited library facilities and a less conducive school environment, zakat learning has generally been implemented effectively and has improved students' understanding of the concepts and practices of zakat. The study implies that improving teachers' professional competence, optimizing the use of instructional media, and enhancing educational facilities are essential to further strengthen the quality of Islamic Religious Education, particularly in zakat instruction.
