Abstract

This study aims to examine in depth the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in social studies education and its impact on the development of social literacy, critical thinking, and religiosity among junior high school students. The study employed a qualitative case study design conducted over a three-month period. Participants were selected through purposive sampling and consisted of social studies teachers and eighth-grade students. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic coding to identify recurring patterns and core themes. The analysis revealed four major themes: (1) the implementation of student-centered learning through group discussions, case studies, and reflective activities; (2) the integration of social care and responsibility values within real-life social contexts; (3) positive learning outcomes reflected in improved social literacy and critical thinking skills; and (4) learning constraints, particularly limited instructional time and uneven student participation. The findings indicate that contextual learning media such as presentations, videos, and authentic social issues effectively enhance students’ cognitive engagement and strengthen their religiosity in both affective and behavioral dimensions. However, structural limitations, including restricted technological access and limited instructional time, remain significant challenges. This study contributes to the growing discourse on integrative social studies pedagogy by demonstrating that PBL can simultaneously foster social literacy, critical thinking, and religiosity within a unified instructional framework. It also offers practical implications for curriculum adaptation, systematic teacher training, and the development of collaborative learning environments to optimize students’ holistic development.

Abstract

The development of religious character is a fundamental component of Muhammadiyah higher education. The Basic Darul Arqam Training (DAD) serves as a strategic leadership development tool for instilling Islamic values, yet its effectiveness is highly dependent on the pedagogical approach employed. This study aims to describe and analyze the process of strengthening students’ religious character through the application of the MICAR Model (Motivation, Interaction, Collaboration, Attention, Reflection) in DAD training at Muhammadiyah University of Bandung. The research method employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection techniques included participant observation, in-depth interviews with participants and instructors, document analysis, and participants’ written reflections. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman technique: data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the MICAR Model is capable of strengthening students’ religious character through increased spiritual motivation, intensive religious interaction among participants, collaboration in worship activities and Islamic discussions, deep attention to the values of Muhammadiyah teachings, and spiritual reflection that encourages attitudinal change. These findings confirm that the integration of MICAR into DAD training can serve as an effective and transformative strategy in the formation of students’ religious character.
