Integrating Tawhid Values into the Direct Instruction Model for Phase D Science Learning on the Excretory System: A Literature Review
Keywords:
Excretory System, Engineering Design Process, Islamic Science Education, Tawhid Integration, STEM EducationAbstract
The secularization of science education frequently creates an epistemological dichotomy, alienating learners from their spiritual identity. This study aims to synthesize a conceptual instructional design that integrates Islamic Tawhid values, specifically Ash’arite theology, into the learning of the human excretory system. Utilizing a qualitative library research approach, interdisciplinary literature encompassing biological curricula and thematic Qur’anic exegesis was examined using content analysis and an interactive qualitative model. The findings reveal a profound ontological mapping where excretory organs reflect divine balance and the absolute power of God, refuting independent mechanistic causality. To operationalize these concepts, a Tawhid-integrated engineering design process syntax was developed. By guiding students to design and test artificial filtration prototypes, this framework transforms technical problem-solving into an act of worship and earthly stewardship. This structured pedagogical approach successfully preserves rigorous scientific integrity, prevents dogmatic pseudoscience, and significantly enhances students’ analytical resilience. Ultimately, this integrated engineering model transforms passive learners into ethically grounded innovators, providing a highly robust pedagogical blueprint that advances holistic character development in contemporary Islamic science education.
