Analisis Kontekstual Materi SKI MI: Pendekatan Periodisasi Sejarah dan Tokoh Islam dalam Pembelajaran

Abstract

Islamic Cultural History (Sejarah Kebudayaan Islam/SKI) learning in Islamic Elementary Schools (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah) plays an important role in shaping students' character, strengthening Islamic identity, and instilling Islamic values. However, SKI learning is often oriented toward memorization, resulting in students having limited understanding of the meaning and values contained in historical events. This study aims to analyze SKI learning materials in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah through the approaches of historical periodization and Islamic figures in the learning process. The study employed a library research method with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through documentation studies from textbooks, scientific journals, articles, and other relevant literature, and were analyzed using content analysis techniques. The findings indicate that the historical periodization approach presents SKI materials in a systematic and chronological manner, making it easier for students to understand the development of Islamic history. Furthermore, integrating Islamic figures as role models creates more contextual and meaningful learning while supporting students' character development. Therefore, the approaches of historical periodization and Islamic figures can serve as effective alternatives for developing contextual and meaningful SKI learning in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah.
