Abstract

General Background Educational strategies increasingly prioritize environmental awareness and ecological capacities to ensuresustainablenatural habitats. Specific Background In aseventh-grade setting, learners exhibit low ecological empathy and curiosity due to minimal direct interaction with nature, inadequate laboratory facilities, and a reliance on conventional problem-based instruction. Knowledge Gap Although environmental teaching methods exist, their integration with spiritual ethics to foster a holistic sense of ecological responsibility remains under-explored within biological science education. Aims This study investigates the application of an ecopedagogy learning model integrated with Islamic values on the naturalistic intelligence of junior high school pupils during environmental learning. Results Utilizing a quasi experimental non-equivalent control group design with 48 participants, analysis revealed that the experimental cohort achieved a nine percent pretestposttest score increase, compared to a five percent increase in the control group. Furthermore, a Mann-Whitney test confirmed statistical significance (p = 0.033), while the calculated effect size (r = 0.307) indicated a small but meaningful practical contribution. Novelty This research uniquely merges an interactive syntax with environmental ethics, specifically framing ecological conservation as a spiritual obligation derived from religious texts. Implications Integrating religious principles within participatory environmental education serves as a highly supportive alternative pedagogical framework for cultivating ecological empathy and sensory awareness.
