INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IN ISLAMIC EDUCATION IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS: FROM MEMORIZATION TO CONTEXTUAL LEARNING
Kata Kunci:
Islamic Religious Education, Interdisciplinary Approach, Elementary School, Repko, Merdeka CurriculumAbstrak
The teaching of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) at the elementary school level tends to be textual and normative, which often fails to bridge students' understanding of Islamic teachings with their real-life applications. The interdisciplinary approach offers a strategic solution to this issue. Based on the theory of Allen F. Repko, interdisciplinary learning is an integrative process that combines multiple disciplinary perspectives to address complex problems in a comprehensive manner. This study employs a qualitative library research method to analyze theoretical perspectives and relevant educational policies related to IRE and interdisciplinary learning. By integrating IRE with other subjects such as Science, Social Studies, Language, and Arts, religious values can be contextualized and meaningfully embedded in students’ daily experiences. This approach aligns with the direction of the Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes project-based learning and character development. This article recommends that teachers be empowered to design interdisciplinary learning models as a means to nurture Islamic character education from an early age.
