The aim of this study is to improve children's language skills through the word-guessing method assisted by picture card media at RA Tarbiyatul Banin, Plosorejo Village, Pucakwangi District, Pati Regency, in the 2019/2020 academic year. This issue arises because children's language skills in word-guessing activities are not optimal due to monotonous teaching methods and a lack of activity variation, causing children to feel bored and uninterested. Consequently, their cognitive abilities remain underdeveloped. The research subjects consist of 26 children from RA Tarbiyatul Banin in the 2019/2020 academic year, including 13 boys and 13 girls. The research was conducted at RA Tarbiyatul Banin, Plosorejo Village, Pucakwangi District, Pati Regency. This study employs a classroom action research (CAR) approach, which consists of four stages: (1) Planning, (2) Implementation, (3) Observation, and (4) Reflection. Data collection techniques include observation and documentation. The research was carried out in three cycles: pre-action, Cycle 1, and Cycle 2. The results indicatean improvement in children's language skills through the word-guessing method. This is evident from the pre-cycle learning outcomes, where no children were able to fully participate. However, after improvements in learning during Cycle 1, the "Developing as Expected" (BSB) scale increased by 1.92%. In Cycle 2, the "Well Developed" (BSB) scale reached 25%. Based on these percentage results, the researcher concludes that the word-guessing game assisted by picture cards can effectively improve children's language skills at RA Tarbiyatul Banin, Plosorejo Village, Pucakwangi District, Pati Regency, in the 2022/2023 academic year.</p> Henny Puerwanti I'AH Copyright (c) 2025 2025-02-04 2025-02-04 3 1 1 5 10.22373/jppg.v3i1.7446 IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING METHOD TO IMPROVE THE UNDERSTANDING OF GRADE X GPI STUDENTS AT SMK NEGERI 4 MEULABOH ON MORALS IN ISLAM https://journal.ar-raniry.ac.id/ppg/article/view/7447 <p>Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a crucial role in shaping students' character and morals. One key aspect is moral education, which aims to instill Islamic ethical and moral values in daily life. However, around 60% of students at SMK Negeri 4 Meulaboh struggle to grasp the concept of Islamic morals. This issue is reflected in their low minimum competency scores (KKM), primarily due to the monotonous and unengaging lecture-based teaching method commonly used by teachers, which quickly leads to boredom. To address this problem, an alternative approach is needed to ensure students can effectively absorb moral education. One potential solution is the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of PBL in improving students' understanding of moral education in Islam. The research follows a Classroom Action Research (CAR) methodology, conducted in two cycles.</p> Hermiyanti Copyright (c) 2025 2025-02-02 2025-02-02 3 1 6 11 10.22373/jppg.v3i1.7447 EFFORTS TO IMPROVE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT THROUGH THE DISCOVERY LEARNING MODEL https://journal.ar-raniry.ac.id/ppg/article/view/7448 <p>The Effect of Discovery Learning on Student Achievement in Al-Qur'an Hadith Studies.
