Abstract

Environmental degradation has highlighted the importance of strengthening ecological awareness through education, including Islamic education. Integrating ecotheological values into Aqidah Akhlak learning has become an important approach to fostering students' responsibility for environmental conservation as part of practicing Islamic teachings. This study aimed to analyze the integration of ecotheological values into Aqidah Akhlak learning and its contribution to strengthening students' ecological awareness at MTs As'adiyah Belawa Baru. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal, an Aqidah Akhlak teacher, and eight students. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, while data trustworthiness was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings revealed that ecotheological values were integrated into learning through instructional materials, teaching strategies, teacher role modeling, and environmental habituation activities within the madrasah. This integration contributed to strengthening students' ecological awareness, as reflected in their improved understanding, attitudes, and environmentally responsible behaviors. The implementation of ecotheological values was supported by teachers' understanding, the principal's commitment, and a supportive madrasah culture, although it still encountered challenges related to limited facilities, instructional time, and the consistency of students' environmental behavior. This study confirms that integrating ecotheological values into Aqidah Akhlak learning contributes to strengthening students' ecological awareness while promoting the development of environmentally responsible character.
