METODOLOGI PEMBELAJARAN PAI BERBASIS NILAI-NILAI ISLAM DAN KONTEKSTUAL

The urgency of developing Islamic Religious Education (PAI) methodologies grounded in Islamic values and contextual approaches has become critical amid globalization and moral degradation. This study aims to analyze how PAI learning can be designed and implemented to internalize Islamic values within the authentic life contexts of students. A qualitative approach with a library research design was employed, synthesizing 24 accredited scholarly publications and enriched by triangulated interviews with three Islamic education practitioners. The findings reveal that value-based contextual PAI learning successfully transforms abstract cognitive understanding into affective internalization and concrete social action. Teachers play a strategic role as moral role models (uswah hasanah) and facilitators of spiritual reflection who bridge normative principles with dynamic societal realities. Theoretically, this study enriches the discourse of values-based education and contextual learning within Islamic pedagogy, while practically offering a framework for developing a more humanistic and character-driven PAI curriculum. ABSTRAK Urgensi pengembangan metodologi pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) berbasis nilai-nilai Islam dan pendekatan kontekstual semakin mendesak di tengah tantangan globalisasi serta degradasi moral generasi muda. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis secara mendalam perancangan dan implementasi pembelajaran PAI yang mampu menginternalisasikan nilai-nilai Islam ke dalam konteks kehidupan nyata peserta didik. Pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi pustaka (library research) diterapkan melalui penelaahan kritis terhadap 24 literatur ilmiah terakreditasi serta diperkuat oleh wawancara triangulatif bersama tiga praktisi pendidikan Islam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran PAI kontekstual berbasis nilai mampu menggeser orientasi kognitif teoretis menuju penghayatan afektif dan praksis sosial yang konkret. Guru memegang posisi strategis sebagai teladan moral (uswah hasanah) dan fasilitator refleksi spiritual yang menjembatani dalil normatif dengan realitas sosial kemasyarakatan. Secara teoretis, kajian ini memperkaya integrasi values-based education dan contextual learning dalam pedagogi Islam, sedangkan secara praktis memberikan arah bagi pengembangan kurikulum PAI yang humanistik dan berkarakter.
