Connecting with Nature: Tadabur Alam and its Effect on Islamic Value Learning

Abstract

This research aims to explore the influence of the implementation of the Tadabur Alam learning model on the learning outcomes of the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subject. The research method employed is a quantitative approach to statistically identify the impact of Tadabur Alam on the improvement of PAI learning outcomes. The study was conducted at SMKS Miftahul Ulum, Bandar Lampung, involving an experimental group receiving instruction using the Tadabur Alam model and a control group undergoing conventional learning. The population for this study consisted of 190 students, and the sample selected comprised two randomly chosen classes of Grade X students. Class X.1 served as the control group with 30 students, while Class X.2 served as the experimental group with 30 students.The results of the data analysis using statistical tests revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. Students engaged in Tadabur Alam learning exhibited substantial improvement compared to the control group. These findings indicate that the quantitative application of Tadabur Alam has a positive impact on enhancing PAI learning outcomes, particularly for students with a background of low academic achievement. Consequently, it can be concluded that the Tadabur Alam learning model is one that can be adopted to improve PAI learning outcomes, especially among students facing academic challenges. The practical implications of these findings provide a foundation for the development of more inclusive and adaptive teaching methods within the context of Islamic education.
