This study investigates how mind mapping can enhance students' understanding and learning performance in Fiqh for Grade V at MI Jabal Nur. An experimental design compares an experimental group using mind mapping with a control group taught through conventional methods. Data collection includes observations, pre-tests and post-tests, and documentation of learning activities. Results show significant gains in knowledge of Qurban requirements, with learning success rising from 47% in the pre-cycle to 93.33% in Cycle II, and average scores increasing from 59.6 to 85.9.

Mind Mapping, a visual technique for organizing information, was tested through an experimental method involving an experimental group (Mind Mapping) anda control group (conventional methods) . Data collection included observations of student and teacher activities, pre-tests and post-tests to measure comprehension, and documentation of learning activities. The findings revealed significant improvements in students' understanding of Qurban requirements, with learning success increasing from 47% in the pre-cycle to 93.33% in Cycle II. The average student score also rose from 59.6 to 85.9. This improvement was attributed to enhanced teacher performance, additional learning activities, and greater student engagement in Cycle II. The Mind Mapping method proved effective in helping students visualize and structure information, leading to better comprehension and academic performance. The results indicate that applying Mind Mapping in teaching Fiqh positively impacts students' learning outcomes and engagement. This study highlights the potential of Mind Mapping as an innovative teaching strategy for improving conceptual understanding in religious education, making learning more interactive and effective for young learners.

It is a planned effort designed to develop students'potential, fostering independence, creativity, and intellectual growth. The quality of education remains a crucial topic of discussion, yet in Indonesia, it is often considered insufficient compared to neighboring countries. One of the key factors in improving educational quality is the role of teachers, as their ability to deliver lessons effectively greatly influences students' academic success. Proper teaching methods contribute significantly to students' learning experiences, helping them grasp complex subjects with greater ease. According to Bloom’s Taxonomy, effective learning should involve cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains (Bloom, 1956) . Teaching strategies should therefore not only focus on delivering knowledge but also on fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. However, many teachers still rely on traditional lecture-based methods, limiting students' engagement and comprehension. This issue is particularly evident in religious studies, such as Fiqh, which requires a deep understanding of Islamic laws and religious practices. Fiqh encompasses a wide range of topics, including the requirements of Qurban, which can be challenging for students to comprehend without appropriate teaching strategies. Constructivist learning theory emphasizes that students learn best when they actively construct knowledge rather than passively receive information (Piaget, 1970; Vygotsky, 1978) . This suggests that teaching methods should encourage students to engage in meaningful learning activities that promote deeper understanding and retention. One such effect
