Abstract

This research explores the challenges faced in implementing edutainment in elementary schools as an alternative method for increasing student motivation and involvement and honing their problem-solving skills. This research is based on the increasing need to create an engaging and effective learning atmosphere and problems related to low student motivation and monotonous learning methods. The research method used is a qualitative approach with the type of case study research. Data collection techniques are carried out through in-depth interviews with teachers, direct observation in the classroom, and documentation of learning activities. The findings show that although edutainment succeeds in increasing student engagement, the main challenge is balancing the entertainment element and the educational objectives. In addition, efficient time management and selecting appropriate educational games are key in optimizing the benefits of edutainment. The contribution of this research is to provide insight into how the implementation of edutainment can be optimized at the elementary school level, as well as identify obstacles that need to be considered by educators. The recommendation of this study is to create the right balance between entertainment and learning and to provide training to teachers to choose and apply educational games that are relevant to the learning objectives.

Abstract

The phenomenon of intensifying humanitarian crises and environmental degradation in the context of modern education demonstrates an urgent need to reconstruct the orientation of the Islamic Education curriculum to make it more adaptive and relevant. The theoretical landscape shows that Arkoun's sustainable humanism and critical epistemology approaches offer a potential conceptual framework to address these issues, but they have not yet been comprehensively integrated into curriculum design. This study aims to formulate an Islamic education curriculum model that combines humanistic values, ecological awareness, and critical thinking skills through a synthesis of sustainable humanism and critical epistemology. Using a descriptive qualitative method based on literature review, this study examines Arkoun's thinking and sustainable humanism theory to develop a systematic theoretical formulation. The results show that the integration of these two approaches can produce a more inclusive, reflective, and transformative curriculum paradigm, as well as strengthen the relevance of Islamic education in facing contemporary social, ecological, and epistemological challenges. In conclusion, this study offers an integrative model that can serve as the basis for curriculum reform in Islamic educational institutions, with recommendations for strengthening teacher competencies, revising the curriculum structure, and developing learning assessments that emphasise ethical, critical, and sustainability aspects.
