Abstract

This research aims to analyze how the implementation of differentiated learning can improve students' motivation in Fiqh subject. The type of research used is classroom action research (CAR), which consists of two cycles of learning. Data collection techniques include interviews, observation, documentation, and tests. For data analysis, this research uses data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification methods. The results of the study show that the implementation of differentiated learning can be carried out effectively through two cycles. This can be seen from the activities conducted by teachers and students, which improve from Cycle I to Cycle II. Teacher observations in Cycle I scored 75% (sufficient) and increased to 85.71% (good) in Cycle II. Similarly, student activities improved from a score of 73.33 in Cycle I to 90 in Cycle II. There is also a difference in the motivation of Grade X students at MAN 2 Langkat before and after the classroom action research using differentiated learning. Before the learning process, students' learning motivation was in the low category with a percentage score of 64.3%. After implementing differentiated learning, students' motivation improved, with the post-test questionnaire score rising from 64.69% to 73.19% in Cycle I, and continuing to increase to 85.61% in Cycle II. Based on this data, it can be concluded that differentiated learning can significantly enhance students' motivation in the Fiqh subject for Grade X at MAN 2 Langkat
