Practical wudu is a procedural component of Fikih learning that requires students to understand the requirements of purification and perform the prescribed actions in an appropriate sequence. This study compared practical wudu performance among 60 Grade VII students at MTs Assaidiyah Ngali, with 30 students in a modelling-based instruction group and 30 in a conventional-instruction group. A pretest–posttest quasi-experimental comparison was analysed using descriptive statistics, paired-samples t-tests, Welch’s independent-samples t-test on gain scores, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) adjusting for pretest scores. The modelling group increased from 58.40 (SD = 8.10) to 82.60 (SD = 7.84), whereas the control group increased from 57.90 (SD = 9.73) to 68.30 (SD = 8.22). Mean gains were 24.20 (SD = 9.09) and 10.40 (SD = 12.18), respectively. The between-group gain difference was 13.80 points (95% CI [8.23, 19.37]), with Welch’s t(53.67) = 4.97, p < .001. ANCOVA also indicated a higher adjusted posttest score in the modelling group, equivalent to a 14.21-point advantage (95% CI [10.11, 18.31]), p < .001. These findings indicate a stronger score improvement in the modelling group; interpretation remains subject to the study’s quasi-experimental allocation and the need to document the instrument and instructional procedures fully.
