Managing CapCut-Assisted E-Learning Project-Based Learning to Strengthen Students’ Understanding of Tolerance
Abstract
Religious tolerance in multireligious schools requires students to understand both the value of respecting difference and the boundaries of their own religious commitments. This study examined whether e-learning-based Project-Based Learning (PjBL) assisted by CapCut was associated with improved understanding of tolerance among Muslim Grade VIII students at SMPN 4 Lembo Raya, North Morowali. A quantitative pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design involved all 20 Muslim students through total sampling. The intervention combined digital project instructions with three 120-minute classroom meetings in which students planned, produced, edited, presented, and reflected on short tolerance-themed videos using CapCut. Data were collected through a tolerance questionnaire, project assessment rubric, observation, documentation, and parallel pretest-posttest knowledge tests. Instrument items were screened for validity, difficulty, discrimination, and reliability, while the paired-score normality assumption was satisfied. The reported mean tolerance-understanding score increased from 55.53 before the intervention to 85.00 afterward. A paired-samples t-test showed a significant mean improvement of 29.484 points, t(19) = 6.054, p < .001, with a 95% confidence interval of 19.322 to 39.646. Cohen's d was 1.31, indicating a large practical effect. Classroom documentation also showed strong participation in collaborative video production and reflection. Within the limitations of a single-group design and a small sample, the findings suggest that student-produced digital projects can provide a contextual pathway for strengthening conceptual understanding of tolerance in Islamic Religious Education.
