DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTEGRATED DRILL–NHT METHOD FOR MAWARIS LEARNING AT SMA AL MINHAJ BOGOR

Abstract

Mawaris (Islamic inheritance law) learning at the senior high school level often encounters challenges, particularly students’ difficulties in understanding complex inheritance distribution calculations and the continued reliance on memorization-based learning methods without meaningful practice. This study aims to develop a drill method integrated with the Numbered Heads Together (NHT) cooperative learning model in Mawaris learning at SMA Al Minhaj Bogor. The study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method based on the Borg and Gall model, which was limited to seven stages. The research subjects consisted of 46 twelfth-grade students at SMA Al Minhaj Bogor. Data collection instruments included a Mawaris comprehension test (pretest–posttest), student activity observation sheets, and response questionnaires. The findings indicate that the drill–NHT method, developed through a six-step syntax (numbering, providing basic understanding, posing questions, heads together, calling a number, and providing feedback), was deemed feasible based on validation results from subject-matter experts (88%), media experts (85%), and instructional experts (87.5%). Field testing revealed an improvement in students’ learning outcomes, with the mean score increasing from 70 on the pretest to 82 on the posttest, yielding an N-gain score of 0.40 (moderate category). Active student participation increased from 45% to 82% following the implementation of the method. Students’ responses to the method were highly positive, with 89.8% reporting that it helped them learn. This study concludes that the development of the drill method using the NHT model showed potential for improving students’ learning outcomes and active participation.
