This research uses a qualitative approach and case study method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation, which are then analyzed through the reduction stage. This research found three essential things: (1) planning the use of the ARKA model in PAI learning consists of preparing lesson plans, which include objectives, materials, methods, media, and teaching resources.
