Abstract

This study was conducted to enhance students’ creativity and understanding of Islamic Religious Education through the use of Canva-based learning media. The use of digital learning media in the learning process is expected to create a more engaging and interactive learning environment and to increase student engagement during instruction. The method used in this study was Classroom Action Research (CAR), implemented in two cycles comprising the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The study involved 33 students from SMKN 2 Sukorejo as research subjects. Data collection was conducted using comprehension tests, creativity assessment rubrics, and observation sheets. The research data were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative descriptive techniques. The results showed an increase in students’ comprehension, evident from the pre-intervention average score of 80, which rose to 85 in Cycle I, and further increased to 88 in Cycle II. The students’ learning achievement rate also increased, reaching 90% in Cycle II. Additionally, the students’ creativity in creating Canva-based presentations showed better development in each learning cycle. These findings indicate that the use of Canva-based learning media can help enhance students’ creativity and comprehension in the Islamic Religious Education learning process.
