Abstract

The escalating global environmental crisis reflects not only ecological degradation but also a moral and spiritual decline, making the integration of environmental values into education an essential field of study. Previous studies have widely discussed environmental education and religious-based learning; however, limited research has specifically examined the integration of environmental theology within the framework of spiritual ecology through a love-based curriculum at the elementary education level, particularly in Islamic primary schools. This study seeks to address how environmental theology can be integrated into a love-based curriculum to foster ecological awareness and spiritual responsibility among students. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study design, this research was conducted at MI Arrosidiyah Rejotangan Tulungagung as the locus of study. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving the school principal, teachers, students, and curriculum developers selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal a novel model of spiritually grounded ecological education that integrates compassion, responsibility, and environmental stewardship into daily learning practices. This study recommends the development of policy frameworks and curriculum guidelines that strengthen the integration of environmental theology and character education, while future research should explore broader implementation contexts and longitudinal impacts.
