Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in Indonesian senior high schools faces persistent challenges of low student engagement and superficial value internalization, largely resulting from conventional teaching methods that rely on dogmatic delivery and rote memorization. This study aims to evaluate the pedagogical effectiveness of integrating gamification and project-based learning in enhancing student engagement and facilitating authentic value internalization within high school PAI. A qualitative single case study design was employed at a senior high school in Bandung, involving 34 students selected through purposive intensity sampling. Data were gathered through the triangulation of in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation, then analyzed using interactive thematic analysis. The findings reveal that gamification significantly reduced academic anxiety and increased emotional engagement, creating a psychologically safe classroom climate. This affective readiness was subsequently leveraged by project-based learning, where direct engagement in authentic social projects triggered deep social empathy and spontaneous behavioral commitments that extended beyond academic requirements. The synergy of these methods produced a qualitatively distinct learning experience that facilitated organic value internalization without external pressure. This study contributes to Islamic education scholarship by offering a student-centered pedagogical model that integrates emotional engagement with concrete character actualization, challenging the dominance of conventional rote learning and providing actionable implications for PAI curriculum redesign and teacher professional development.

Abstract

Implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka menuntut pembelajaran yang fleksibel, berdiferensiasi, dan berbasis asesmen autentik. Namun di lapangan masih terdapat kesenjangan antara tuntutan tersebut dengan kesiapan kompetensi pedagogis guru, termasuk guru Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI), yang menghadapi kendala dalam memahami kebutuhan peserta didik, merancang alur tujuan pembelajaran, menerapkan model pembelajaran aktif, serta menyusun asesmen yang mencerminkan capaian belajar secara komprehensif. Kesenjangan ini menunjukkan perlunya analisis mendalam mengenai bagaimana kompetensi pedagogis guru berperan dalam implementasi kurikulum baru ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan peran kompetensi pedagogis guru PAI dalam perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan asesmen pembelajaran pada Kurikulum Merdeka. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif studi kasus dengan subjek guru PAI; data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur kepada satu guru PAI yang dinilai memiliki kompetensi pedagogis yang baik, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model reduksi, penyajian, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kompetensi pedagogis guru tampak melalui kemampuan memahami karakteristik siswa, merancang perangkat ajar sesuai kebutuhan, mengelola pembelajaran aktif, serta menerapkan asesmen formatif dan sumatif secara berkelanjutan. Kesimpulannya, kompetensi pedagogis guru PAI memiliki peran signifikan dalam memastikan keberhasilan implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka dan perlu didukung melalui pengembangan profesional yang berkelanjutan.

Abstract

The policy-practice gap constitutes a persistent challenge in Indonesia's Islamic education transformation as two landmark policy reforms converge: the Merdeka Curriculum (2022) and Presidential Regulation on Religious Moderation (2023). Despite evident institutional commitments, implementation frequently remains superficial, constraining the effectiveness of digital technology integration. Religious moderation values internalization, pedagogical innovation, and curriculum reform across diverse Islamic educational institutions. This systematic review synthesizes empirical evidence from 55 peer-reviewed, Scopus-indexed studies (2020-2025) and uses the PRISMA 2020 protocol to identify strategic pathways to bridge this gap. Findings reveal that sustainable transformation requires cross-dimensional integration of digital technology, religious moderation, pedagogical innovation, and curriculum reform, with religious moderation operationalized through wasatiyyah values and dialogical methods, which emerge as a foundational anchor of the entire transformation framework. Teacher digital competency gaps and structural policy-practice misalignment constitute the most critical implementation barriers. The integrative conceptual model constructed demonstrates that transformative success depends on three strategic pillars: strong institutional leadership, sustained teacher capacity development, and coherent alignment between policy design and field implementation capacity. These findings offer evidence-based pathways for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers committed to designing sustainable, equitable, and empirically grounded Islamic education transformation within Indonesia's Merdeka Curriculum era.
