Integration Of Al-Qur'anic Values In Child Development Psychology: A Review Of Islamic Education Literature

Abstract

Basic education is an important foundation in shaping the character, morals, and emotional intelligence of future generations. In the context of Islamic education, the values of the Qur'an play a strategic role in supporting children's holistic development. However, most previous studies have only examined Islamic values normatively without systematically integrating them into the framework of child development psychology. This study employs a literature review method with a content analysis approach on primary and secondary sources, including the Qur'an, hadith, and academic literature in the fields of educational psychology and Islamic education. The results indicate that Qur'anic values such as tawhid (monotheism), amanah (trustworthiness), honesty, compassion, and responsibility play a significant role in supporting children's cognitive, moral, social, emotional, and spiritual development. Additionally, it was found that integrating Qur'anic principles into modern developmental theories results in an educational model that balances intellectual and spiritual aspects. The thematic matrix developed illustrates the conceptual relationship between the stages of children's psychological development and the teachings of the Qur'an, thereby enriching the approach to Islamic education at the elementary level. This study has important implications for the development of an Islamic elementary education curriculum based on the integration of Qur'anic values with a comprehensive framework of child psychological development.
