Abstract

The decline of environmental character among students can be addressed through the integration of Islamic values into the learning process. An effective and meaningful approach, such as STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) combined with Qur'anic values, can motivate students to strengthen their environmental character. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of integrating Qur'anic values into STEAM learning as an effort to increase environmental awareness among students at MA Pesantren Modern Tebuireng Bintan. One of the Qur'anic values emphasized is the importance of preserving nature as taught in Surah Al-Baqarah: 205, which highlights the importance of preventing damage to the earth. The method used in this research is a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. The sample consisted of 30 students randomly selected from the total population. Data was collected through questionnaires, observation sheets, and interviews with teachers, and analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques. The results showed that the integration of Qur'anic values in STEAM learning significantly improved students' understanding of STEAM concepts and increased their awareness of environmental conservation.
