Abstract

Problems in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning are often characterized by low student learning motivation, which is evident from the lack of participation, perseverance, and active involvement in the learning process. This condition indicates a gap between students' physical presence and mental and emotional involvement in learning. One effort that can be made is to internalize niyyah values as a spiritual foundation in learning. This study aims to analyze the implementation of niyyah values in PAI learning and their impact on student learning motivation. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, with PAI teachers and eighth-grade students at SMPN 2 Cileunyi Bandung as research subjects. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis used the interactive model of Miles and Huberman which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of niyyah values carried out through the habit of straightening intentions, strengthening the meaning of worship in learning, and a reflective approach can increase students' intrinsic motivation. Students showed changes in attitude to be more active, diligent, and have a higher awareness of learning. Thus, the implementation of niyyah values has proven effective in increasing learning motivation while strengthening the holistic character formation of students in Islamic Education learning.

Abstract

Problems in learning Aqidah Akhlak often arise due to the dominance of teacher-centered lecture methods, making students passive and less able to think critically or understand religious teachings rationally. This issue appears clearly in learning the material of faith in the Last Day, which generally emphasizes memorization without providing space for philosophical and rational reasoning. This study aims to apply the principles of Burhani epistemology in learning Aqidah Akhlak on the material of faith in the Last Day to improve students’ critical thinking and rational belief. This research employs a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design (Static Group Comparison Design), involving two groups: an experimental class using Burhani-based learning and a control class using conventional methods. Data were collected through critical thinking tests and rational belief questionnaires, then analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and t-tests. The results show that the data are normally distributed (Sig. > 0.05), not homogeneous (Sig. < 0.05), and that there is a significant difference between the two groups (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05). The average score of the experimental class increased to 89.47, while the control class increased to 56.00. Thus, the application of Burhani epistemology is proven effective in enhancing students’ critical thinking and rational belief, as well as integrating reason and revelation harmoniously. This approach is relevant for Aqidah Akhlak instruction to develop logical thinking, strong faith, and scientific morality in students.
