Reflection Learning Experience of Islamic Religious Education Based on Spiritual and Social Values

Background/purpose. The way learning experiences are understood is crucial in character-focused education. The various activities that students engage in can influence their character development, contingent on whether they view these experiences in a positive or negative light. This study aims to analyze how students reflect on their learning experiences in the subject of Islamic Religious Education, focusing on spiritual and social values that strengthen their character.

Materials/methods. The methodology employed in this research is quantitative, utilizing a descriptive approach. In this investigation, a purposive sampling technique was utilized to select participants. To gather the necessary data for analysis, both closed-ended and open-ended questionnaires were administered as techniques for data collection. Data analysis involved systematically organizing responses from these questionnaires into meaningful categories; subsequently synthesizing this information into coherent patterns, and drawing conclusions based on findings.

Results. The results indicate that students hold strong beliefs in spiritual and social values that serve as references in their everyday lives. The spiritual and social values adopted by students include optimism, endeavor, resignation, tolerance, honesty, keeping promises, devotion to parents and teachers, manners, and shame as religious principles, as well as their behavior in everyday life. In reflecting on their learning experiences, students employ various approaches, such as self-motivation, imitating the good behavior of others, and seeking advice from teachers based on the spiritual and social values they hold dear. The combination of self-motivation, teacher guidance, and imitation of positive behavior in the social environment is effective in instilling spiritual and social values in students.

Conclusion. Students' self-motivation, teacher guidance, and a supportive social environment can become meaningful learning experiences when students reflect on these experiences in light of spiritual and social values
