PAI Student Perception of The Class of 2022 Towards The Use of Learning Models by Pai Study Program Lecturers at UIN Ar-Raniry

This study aims to determine the perceptions of Islamic Religious Education students of the 2022 intake regarding the use of learning models by lecturers in the Islamic Religious Education Study Program at UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh. The study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation of 15 students as research subjects. The results showed that most lecturers still predominantly use lecture, discussion, and question-and-answer methods, while the application of innovative learning models is still limited. This causes some students to feel bored and unmotivated. However, there are several lecturers who have implemented active learning models such as problem-based learning and group discussions, which are considered to be able to increase student enthusiasm and understanding. Overall, students expect the implementation of learning models that are more varied, interactive, and relevant to technological developments to make the learning process more effective and meaningful.
