This study aims to examine the impact of applying the group discussion method on students' learning outcomes in Islamic Education at class X E, SMAN 1 Payakumbuh.

The results show that the group discussion method can improve students' learning outcomes. The average score of students in Cycle I was 73.84, and in Cycle II, it increased to 84.62. This indicates that the group discussion method effectively enhances students' understanding and skills in expressing opinions and asking questions. However, despite the improvement, some students did not meet the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM).
