ISLAMIC LITERACY IN LEARNING MANAGEMENT IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS: APPROACH AND IMPLEMENTATION

Abstract

Literacy encompasses more than just the ability to read and write; it also includes critical and analytical thinking skills in understanding information. In Islamic education, literacy-based learning management serves as an essential solution for improving the quality of learning. This approach integrates Islamic values with literacy skills, enabling students not only to comprehend religious knowledge but also to apply these values in their daily lives. This study aims to analyze literacy-based learning management strategies in Islamic education at the elementary school level, as well as to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors. The research is expected to contribute to the development of a contextual and innovative Islamic education model. It employs a literature review method to examine the concept of literacy-based learning management within Islamic education at the primary school level. The findings reveal that literacy-based learning management in Islamic Education plays a significant role in enhancing students' reading and writing interest. Islamic literacy not only sharpens reading and writing skills but also aids students in internalizing the moral and spiritual values embedded in Islamic texts. The improvement of literacy skills strengthens students’ ability to analyze, formulate ideas, and apply insights to real-life situations. Moreover, Islamic literacy contributes to character development in students, fostering traits such as honesty, responsibility, and empathy. Teachers’ support in integrating literacy through relevant reading materials and active learning methods is vital in creating meaningful learning experiences. Therefore, literacy strategies rooted in Islamic education can serve as a strong foundation for shaping intelligent and morally upright Muslim generations.
