<![CDATA[This study explores the implementation of neuroeducation in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) and its impact on students’ spiritual reflection and character development. The study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with IRE teachers, school administrators, and students, as well as analysis of instructional documents and students’ written reflections. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis. The results indicate that neuroeducation-based PAI instruction forms a holistic learning cycle. This cycle encompasses cognitive-emotional activation, meaningful engagement, spiritual reflection, and character-based actions. Emotional activation and the learning context enhance students’ cognitive focus and engagement. This process encourages deeper reflection on values. Such reflection is then reflected in character-based behavior and actions during daily interactions in the classroom. These findings indicate that neuroeducation can transform PAI learning into a more integrated and meaningful process. For Islamic educators, this approach provides practical guidance for designing learning that focuses not only on knowledge but also on experiential values, spiritual awareness, and tangible character development.]]>
