Affective Domain as the Main Foundation for Meaningful Learning in the Age of Mediamorphosis

Abstract

The affective domain is vital for achieving meaningful learning and happiness.  However, this domain is difficult to assess due to its complexity and relative measurement.  This study seeks to identify the foundation of affective domains to assist educators in creating a meaningful learning experience. Examining the components of this domain, namely values, emotions, motivations, and attitudes, reveals that the foundation of the affective domain consists of true knowledge, the natural inclination and God-consciousness, humanity, focus on the hereafter, and heart purification.  These foundations must also be incorporated into the practice of tafakkur and tazakkur to ensure the holistic development of individuals.
