IMPLEMENTASI NILAI-NILAI AL-QUR’AN DALAM PEMBELAJARAN PAI DI ERA MERDEKA BELAJAR

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of Qur'anic values in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning within the context of the Merdeka Belajar (Freedom to Learn) policy. The main focus of this research is how Qur'anic values—such as honesty, responsibility, tolerance, and discipline—are internalized in the learning process, and to what extent PAI teaching approaches are capable of shaping students' character in an era of educational freedom. The method used is library research, analyzing various literature sources such as academic journals, textbooks, and relevant educational policies. The findings indicate that Qur'anic values can be effectively implemented through contextual, integrative, and character-oriented learning approaches. Within the Merdeka Belajar framework, teachers have greater flexibility to develop learning models based on Islamic values, tailored to the needs and characteristics of their students. However, the successful implementation of these values greatly depends on the teacher’s pedagogical competence, the support of the school environment, and the continuity between classroom learning and real-life practice
