The test result of Qur’an tafsir ability will be analyzed using t-test which has been tested for normality and homogeneity. Statistically, both Qur’an tafsir ability scores are different because F calculation is 16.5875 while F table is 3.91 at the significance level = 0.05. Since F calculation > F table, it can be concluded that JIDI learning model gives significant influence in improving Qur’an tafsir ability. The implication of this study is that learning using JIDI model needs a long time, so it is suitable for the learning material with time allotment of eight meetings.
