Urgensi Pendekatan Pembelajaran Konstruktivistik dan Kaitannya Dengan Pemahaman Konseptual dan Keterampilan Praktis Belajar Siswa

Conventional teacher-centered learning approaches result in superficial conceptual understanding and suboptimal development of students' practical skills. This study employed a qualitative approach with library research method on primary sources including theoretical works of Piaget, Vygotsky, and Woolfolk, as well as secondary sources from scientific journals related to constructivist learning. This study presents a new synthesis on the adaptation of constructivist learning within the context of Islamic values through: (1) epistemological dimension that integrates knowledge construction with tawhid and moral values, (2) methodological dimension that connects constructivist methods with munazarah, halaqah, and tadabbur traditions, (3) axiological dimension that directs learning toward character and spiritual formation, and (4) pedagogical dimension that positions teachers as murabbi and uswatun hasanah. The implementation of constructivist learning requires transformation of teachers' roles from information centers to facilitators and learning guides with formative evaluation that holistically assesses learning processes and outcomes.
