Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at UPT SD Negeri 10 Manurunge faces challenges in student learning outcomes. To address this issue, this research evaluates the implementation of the Make a Match learning model as a strategy to improve student learning outcomes in PAI subjects. It is hoped that this model will provide an effective solution to improve student learning outcomes at the school. This study is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) that includes the stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects involve grade 1 students at SD Negeri 10 Manurunge. Data collection was done using observation methods and learning outcome tests. The collected data were analyzed descriptively. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the Make a Match learning model is effective in improving student learning outcomes in PAI for grade 1 students at UPT SD Negeri 10 Manurunge. From cycle I to cycle II, the percentage of students in the very high category increased from 5% to 19%, and the high category increased from 33% to 57%. The average student score increased from 68 to 82, with learning completeness improving from 66% to 100%. This improvement shows that the Make a Match model creates a more interactive and enjoyable learning environment. This study provides significant contributions to the development of learning methods, particularly the Make a Match model, to improve student learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education. The findings suggest that the use of this model can create a more interactive and enjoyable learning process, which in turn enhances student motivation and engagement. Furthermore, this research offers insights for educators to implement innovative methods that align with students' needs.
