Integrated Education, Its Application in PAI and Science Subjects,Abstract
Based on the results of a literature review covering the period from 2021 to 2024, it can be concluded that integrated learning in the subjects of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and Science is an effective approach in creating a holistic, contextual, and meaningful educational process. This model plays an important role in connecting religious values with scientific concepts, so that learning does not only focus on cognitive aspects but also strengthens the affective and spiritual dimensions of students. Through the implementation of integrated learning, students are able to understand scientific knowledge rationally while internalizing moral and religious values in their daily lives. The findings indicate that this strategy is capable of developing students' critical, reflective, and analytical thinking skills, as well as enhancing learning motivation through the linkage of subject matter with real-life contexts. Furthermore, the integration between PAI and Science has proven effective in shaping students' character to become religiously observant, rational thinkers, and scientifically grounded individuals. Integrated learning provides more relevant and engaging learning experiences by connecting spiritual knowledge with empirical phenomena that are close to students' lives. Therefore, integrated learning can be considered an innovative model for improving the quality of education in madrasahs. This approach not only strengthens academic competence but also balances the development of spiritual, intellectual, and moral aspects harmoniously, thereby supporting the realization of comprehensive goals of Islamic education.
Berdasarkan hasil kajian literatur yang mencakup periode 2021–2024, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pembelajaran terpadu pada mata pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) dan Sains merupakan pendekatan yang efektif dalam menciptakan proses pendidikan yang holistik, kontekstual, dan bermakna. Model ini berperan penting dalam menghubungkan nilai-nilai keagamaan dengan konsep-konsep ilmiah, sehingga pembelajaran tidak hanya berfokus pada aspek kognitif, tetapi juga memperkuat dimensi afektif dan spiritual peserta didik. Melalui penerapan pembelajaran terpadu, peserta didik mampu memahami pengetahuan ilmiah secara rasional sekaligus menginternalisasi nilai-nilai moral dan keagamaan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa strategi ini mampu mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir kritis, reflektif, dan analitis peserta didik, serta meningkatkan motivasi belajar melalui keterkaitan antara materi pelajaran dan konteks kehidupan nyata. Selain itu, integrasi antara PAI dan Sains terbukti efektif dalam membentuk karakter peserta didik yang religius, berpikir rasional, dan memiliki landasan keilmuan yang kuat. Pembelajaran terpadu juga memberikan pengalaman belajar yang lebih relevan dan menarik karena mengaitkan pengetahuan spiritual dengan fenomena empiris yang dekat dengan kehidupan siswa.Dengan demikian, pembelajaran terpadu dapat dipandang sebagai model inovatif dalam meningkatkan mutu pendidikan di madrasah. Pendekatan ini tidak hanya memperkuat kompetensi akademik, tetapi juga menyeimbangkan perkembangan aspek spiritual, intelektual, dan moral secara harmonis, sehingga mendukung terwujudnya tujuan pendidikan Islam yang komprehensif.
