Islamic Education in Elementary Schools: A Review of the ASSURE Model and Interactive Media

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in elementary schools faces challenges of low student engagement and material understanding due to conventional, teacher-centered learning methods. The development of digital technology offers solutions through learning innovations. This study aims to explore innovations in PAI learning, interactive multimedia games, and the ASSURE model. The research method used is descriptive qualitative to understand problems and analyze data from observations and literature studies. The results show that PAI learning innovation involves applying new methods to improve effectiveness and engagement. Interactive multimedia games combine various digital technologies, making learning attractive and independent. The ASSURE model provides a systematic framework (Analyze learners, State objectives, Select methods/media, Utilize, Require participation, Evaluate/revise) for designing technology-based learning effectively and efficiently. In conclusion, integrating digital technology through innovations such as ASSURE-based interactive multimedia games can be a solution to improve the quality and outcomes of PAI learning in elementary schools
