Integration of Science and Religion: Analysis of Physics Teachers' Professional Competence in Strengthening the Islamic Character of Madrasah Aliyah Students in South Kalimantan
Downloads
This study aimed to analyze the professional competence of physics teachers and its role in strengthening the Islamic character of Madrasah Aliyah (MA) students in South Kalimantan. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, with quantitative and qualitative data collected concurrently through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation involving 12 physics teachers and 357 students from 10 MAs. The quantitative findings indicated that both teachers' professional competence and students' Islamic character were categorized as high, with a very strong positive correlation between the two variables (r = 0.800). The qualitative findings further showed that teachers' professional competence was reflected in their ability to integrate Islamic values, such as fathanah and environmental stewardship, into physics instruction. Nevertheless, several challenges remained, including the limited availability of integrated teaching materials and the presence of teachers whose academic qualifications were not aligned with physics education. The study concluded that the professional competence of physics teachers plays an important role in strengthening students' Islamic character and can be further enhanced through the development of integrated science–Islam lesson plans and the incorporation of local wisdom into physics instruction.
