Experimental research has been carried out with nonequivalent control group design techniques to analyze the influence of the flipped classroom method on Islamic education learning achievement in class XII students of SMA Negeri 1 Sumpiuh in 2024. The flipped classroom method is implemented by instructing students to understand the material independently by observing learning videos. After that, students elaborate on the material using online discussions. For data analysis purposes, researchers conducted tests on 30 students who entered the experimental and 30 students who entered the control groups. The results of the N-gain Score calculation showed that the improvement in students' material understanding in the experimental group was higher compared to the control group. The N-gain Score of the experimental group students was 0.3562 while the control group students were 0.1511. The results of statistical tests using the independent sample t-test showed that the comprehension ability of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group (p  0.05). Based on data analysis, the flipped classroom method is one of the alternative methods that can increase students’ understanding of the material in the online learning process.
