Integration, Karawitan, Islamic EducationAbstract
Islamic Education learning still faces challenges in increasing students' motivation and understanding of Islamic values. Conventional theoretical methods are less attractive to students, so an innovative approach is needed. This study aims to analyze the role of integrating karawitan (traditional Javanese music) in islamic education learning in instilling Islamic values and evaluating the effectiveness of art-based learning methods in improving student understanding. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, which were then analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and verification techniques. The research subjects included students and islamic education learning teachers in elementary schools that implemented learning based on karawitan. The results showed that integrating karawitan art in islamic education learning learning can increase student involvement, learning motivation, and understanding of Islamic concepts. Religiously-themed songs in kara witan help students internalize Islamic values in a more contextual and applicable way. In addition, this method contributes to the character-building of students, including discipline, cooperation, and empathy. Therefore, this approach can be an innovative strategy for improving the effectiveness of islamic education learning learning through aesthetic and participatory experiences.
