DYNAMICS OF BLOOM'S TAXONOMY AND ITS RELEVANCE TO ISLAMIC EDUCATION

Ahmad Jamaluddin — 2026-01-08

While many studies on Bloom's Taxonomy have been conducted in the context of general education, few have specifically examined its relevance in depth to Islamic Education. This gap creates a need to explore how the cognitive framework of Bloom's Taxonomy can be adapted and applied to achieve the goals of a holistic Islamic Education, emphasizing not only intellectual aspects but also spiritual and moral aspects. The purpose of this study is to analyze the dynamics of the evolution of Bloom's Taxonomy and identify points of contact and potential integration with the philosophy and practice of Islamic Education. Using a comprehensive library research method, this study will examine various literature on Bloom's Taxonomy, Islamic educational theories, and articles discussing curriculum and teaching methods in the Islamic context. This approach is expected to produce a richer understanding of how Bloom's Taxonomy can be an effective tool in designing relevant and meaningful learning in Islamic Education, supporting the development of students with critical and creative thinking skills grounded in Islamic values.

DEVELOPMENT OF AUDIO VISUAL LEARNING MEDIA USING CANVA TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' UNDERSTANDING OF THE ADDITION CONCEPT OF GRADE II STUDENTS AT MIS DARUL IHYA BOGOR

Samsul Huda — 2026-01-28

Conceptual understanding is a key focus that should be considered in the implementation of instruction in elementary schools. The level of elementary students’ conceptual understanding can be measured based on indicators such as interpreting, giving examples, classifying, summarizing, drawing inferences, comparing, and explaining. The use of audiovisual media aims to enhance students’ cognitive abilities by providing stimuli such as moving images and sounds and by delivering messages intended to influence their attitudes and emotions. This study aimed to investigate the effect of implementing audiovisual learning media using Canva to improve second-grade students’ conceptual understanding of addition. The study was conducted at MIS Darul Ihya Ciomas with 34 second-grade students as participants. A quantitative approach employing the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE development model was used. The research adopted a One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design. Based on the results of the study, the average posttest score of students’ conceptual understanding of addition was 83.03, while the average pretest score was 60.21. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26 for Windows with a Paired Sample T-test at α = 0.001, and the obtained significance value of 0.000 < α = 0.001. These results indicate a significant difference between the posttest and pretest scores. It can therefore be concluded that the use of audiovisual learning media developed with Canva improved the conceptual understanding of addition among second-grade elementary school students in mathematics

This study aims to develop an e-comic learning medium to foster environmental awareness in fifth-grade students during science lessons at SDN Pasarean 02 Pamijahan, Bogor. The background of the study was low student environmental awareness and the lack of use of innovative learning media. The method used was Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model. Validation results by material, media, and language experts indicated that the e-comic was highly valid. Implementation of this medium significantly impacted the development of environmental awareness, as demonstrated by an increase in scores from pretest to posttest and a Paired Sample t-test with a significance level of 0.000 < 0.01. Teacher and student responses indicated that the e-comic was useful, engaging, and easy to understand. This e-comic is expected to serve as a reference in the development of other innovative learning media.

ANALISIS MODEL PEMBELAJARAN KONVENSIONAL DAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN ISLAM

Samsul Huda — 2026-01-29

This study aims to determine the comparison between conventional learning models and Islamic learning models. This research is a qualitative study employing library research methods, with data collection conducted through documentation. Data analysis utilizes a comparative technique, specifically analyzing the philosophical foundations of both conventional and Islamic learning and dissecting these concepts through the perspective of Islamic education. The results indicate that Islamic education possesses a comprehensive repertoire of learning models designed to develop students' independence guided by virtuous life values. This approach aims to form individuals with noble character and righteousness across their intellect, emotions, and actions. The study finds that these two learning models differ significantly in concept; therefore, creative collaboration is required from teachers acting as mediators, facilitators, and catalysts in the learning process. By integrating these models based on specific conditions and situations, an innovative and creative synergy between conventional and Islamic learning can be achieved. Ultimately, this collaborative model is highly implementable and meets the needs of comprehensive education in the modern era.
