The Effect of Using the Demonstration Method on Students' Skills in Practicing Wudhu
11 Interdisciplinary Social Studies, 1(1), Oct 2021
the demonstration method is a method of teaching by demonstrating goods, events, or teaching
indirectly through the use of certain media in accordance with the subject or material being
prepared. The use of the demonstration method in Fiqh subjects, especially in the Wudhu
chapter, will attract students' attention so that they are able to understand the material delivered
by the teacher better. The purpose of the demonstration method is that students are able to
understand how to organize or arrange something. Djamarah (2006) said that "The process of
student acceptance of lessons will be more memorable in depth, thus forming a good and
perfect understanding. Students can also observe and pay attention to what is shown during the
lesson. The material for Wudhu practice is not possible only with the lecture method for it
causes students lack of understanding of the material. By using the demonstration method,
students are expected to be able to practice Wudhu correctly. The condition of the second-grade
students of DTA Al-Fauzaniyyah Solokan Jeruk Sub-District still incorrectly practice Wudhu.
With the demonstration method, students are expected to actively participate and gain
direct experience and develop their skills. Based on the description of the background above,
the authors intend to conduct research on "The Effect of the Use of Demonstration on Students'
Skills in Practicing Wudhu (Research on Class II Students of DTA Al-Fauzaniyyah in Solokan
Jeruk Sub-District".
METHOD
The method used in this research is descriptive method, which aimed at describing various
existing phenomena which are currently ongoing or in the past. This study does not explain the
manipulation of the independent variables but describes a condition "as it is". The description
of this condition can be individual, group or using numbers. This method was used because it
is based on the nature of the research that is intended to describe the actual problems. The
variables to be studied are independent variable (X) which was the use of demonstration
method and dependent variable (Y) which was students' skills in practicing Wudhu.
This study also used a quantitative approach, in which the analysis focuses more on
numerical data (Numbers) that are processed by statistical methods. By using this approach,
the significance of the relationship between variables will be obtained.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The Process of Implementation of the Demonstration Method in Learning Wudhu for
Class II Students of DTA Al-Fauzaniyyah Solokan Jeruk Sub-District
In the learning process using the demonstration method, students were given a pretest with
the aim of knowing how the students' initial ability to practice Wudhu was. After that, the
teacher carries out the process of learning activities using the demonstration method.
Providing Apperception and Motivation about the Procedure for Wudhu
Apperception activities are conducted to determine students who were actively
participating in Wudhu learning activities. Thus, students are trained to have affective skills or
skills related to interests, attitudes and values. Apperception activities can be carried out by
providing materials related to Wudhu, such as materials about sholat. Apperception activities
are usually conducted together with motivational activities.
