The Effect of The Quality of Infrastructure and Information Technology Use on Students' Learning Interest in PAI Learning

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of infrastructure quality and information technology utilization, both partially and simultaneously, on student learning interest in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SMA Negeri 3 Palu. This study used a quantitative approach with an ex post facto design. The results showed that infrastructure quality significantly influenced student learning interest with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Information technology utilization also significantly influenced student learning interest with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Simultaneously, infrastructure quality and information technology utilization significantly influenced student learning interest with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The coefficient of determination indicates that these two variables contribute 59.3% to student learning interest, while the remaining 40.7% is influenced by other variables outside this study. The results of this study indicate that the better the quality of infrastructure and the more optimal the use of information technology, the higher the student interest in Islamic Religious Education (ISE). Therefore, it is hoped that Islamic Religious Education (ISE) schools and teachers will continue to improve the quality of learning facilities and optimize the use of information technology to create a more engaging, interactive, and effective learning process.
