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.
