Integrasi Nilai-Nilai Islami dalam Kurikulum Pendidikan Bahasa Arab di Sekolah Menengah

Abstract

Arabic language education in secondary schools serves not only as a medium for language acquisition, but also as a means of character formation and internalization of Islamic values. This study aims to analyze how the integration of Islamic values ​​can be implemented in the Arabic language education curriculum at the secondary level, as well as to identify strategies and challenges faced by teachers in the implementation process. The research method used is a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with Arabic language teachers, classroom learning observations, and analysis of curriculum documents and teaching materials used in secondary schools. The results show that the integration of Islamic values ​​in the Arabic language curriculum can be achieved through the selection of teaching materials relevant to Islamic principles, the development of learning activities that emphasize Islamic morals and ethics, and the application of contextual and communicative-based teaching methods. In addition, this study found several challenges, including limited learning resources that integrate Islamic values ​​comprehensively, teachers' low understanding of value-based teaching strategies, and the lack of systematic evaluation of students' achievement of Islamic values ​​competencies. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the Arabic language curriculum be developed holistically by integrating the objectives of language proficiency and Islamic character education, improving teacher capacity through intensive training, and providing teaching materials that support the contextual integration of Islamic values. Thus, Arabic language education not only improves students' language skills but also shapes individuals with noble character, faith, and positive contributions to society.
