ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF KAHOOT AS AN INTERACTIVE MEDIUM IN THE EVALUATION OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION LEARNING

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of the Kahoot platform as an interactive medium in the evaluation of Islamic Religious Education learning and identify its contribution to learning motivation, evaluation effectiveness, and teacher-student interaction. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation of teachers and students in one of the madrasas that have implemented Kahoot-based learning evaluation. Data is analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. Research findings show that the use of Kahoot can increase student enthusiasm, strengthen active participation, create a pleasant evaluation atmosphere, and help teachers get feedback quickly on student understanding. However, its implementation still faces obstacles in the form of limited internet networks, the availability of digital devices, and teacher technology literacy. The contribution of this research lies in strengthening the concept of evaluation of PAI learning based on game-based learning which is not only effective pedagogically, but can also be integrated with Islamic values in a contextual, educative, and fun way. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of strengthening teachers' digital literacy, providing adequate technological infrastructure, and developing a PAI evaluation model that is interactive, adaptive, and in line with the needs of students in the digital era.
