EVALUATION OF INNOVATIVE ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION LEARNING MODELS IN LEADING MADRASAH

Abstract

The evaluation of innovative Islamic religious education learning models implemented in leading madrasahs is a critical undertaking in ensuring the effectiveness and alignment of these approaches with Islamic principles and contemporary educational demands. As pres-tigious institutions at the forefront of Islamic education, leading mad-rasahs have a pivotal role in embracing innovation while upholding the rich heritage and values of Islamic teachings. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of innovative learning models employed in these institutions, assessing their impact on students' holistic development, encompassing intellectual, spiritual, and ethical growth. The evaluation process will involve a multidimensional ap-proach, incorporating various stakeholders' perspectives, including teachers, students, parents, and community members. It will exam-ine the integration of technology and digital resources, ensuring their effective utilization while aligning with Islamic epistemology. Fur-thermore, the study will explore the alignment of these innovative models with Islamic principles, epistemology, and worldview, ensur-ing the preservation of Islamic identity and values. By employing a mixed-methods research design, combining qualitative and quantita-tive data collection techniques, this study aims to provide a compre-hensive understanding of the strengths, limitations, and areas for improvement in the implementation of innovative learning models in leading madrasahs. The findings will contribute to the ongoing dis-course on educational innovation in Islamic contexts, informing deci-sion-making processes and guiding the continuous enhancement of Islamic religious education practices.
