Implementation of Islamic Story Literacy-Based Learning (PBLCERIS) to Improve Students’ Literacy at SMKN 1 Kras

Abstract

The low literacy level in Indonesia, particularly at SMKN 1 Kras, has encouraged Islamic Education and Character Education teachers to take part in motivating students to be more actively engaged in literacy activities, especially those related to the subject. This study aims to foster students’ literacy without eliminating the use of gadgets, particularly in Islamic Education and Character Education learning. The creation of Islamic Stories (Ceris) is one of the effective and innovative literacy approaches in Islamic Education and Character Education learning that still utilizes gadgets. This approach is considered effective because it integrates gadget use into classroom learning activities, and innovative because it offers a new, more engaging, and less monotonous method for students. Through the implementation of Literacy-Based Islamic Story Learning (Ceris), students are able to write about events they have experienced or observed in their surroundings, particularly in Islamic Education and Character Education learning. In addition, teachers can identify students’ talents and interests in writing, guide them, and produce individual Islamic storybooks with ISBNs as well as anthologies. Furthermore, students have achieved accomplishments by winning second place at the Kediri Regency level in Islamic story writing competitions in 2021 and 2022
