This study used a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. Data were collected using a questionnaire by employing a Likert scale. The results showed that the average students’ interest in learning Islam was 65.25% or categorized in the high level However, this figure had not yet reached a very high level. Therefore, motivation and more effective and fun teaching methods for students are needed to improve their interests. Meanwhile, the average level of media literacy skills was 79.38 or categorized in the high level. On average, they had been able to use information media as a learning resource independently. They had implemented part of the information literacy model, which was the identification of needs before searching.
