Fostering Meaningful Learning Through TPACK-Based Love Curriculum in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah
Keywords:
Meaningful Learning, Love-Based Curriculum, TPACK, Madrasah IbtidaiyahAbstract
This study aims to analyze how the implementation of a love-based curriculum integrated with the TPACK framework can foster meaningful learning in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah students. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study conducted in the fourth grade of MI Miftahul Ulum Mataram Udik. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis used the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model. The results showed that the implementation of a love-based curriculum was able to create an empathetic and humanistic learning atmosphere, thereby increasing student motivation and participation in the learning process. The integration of TPACK through the use of digital media such as interactive presentations, educational videos, and Canva-based visual platforms helped students understand the material in a more contextual and interesting way. In addition, the application of the STEAM approach through project activities and group work was able to develop students' creativity, critical thinking skills, and collaboration.
