Kajian awal keperluan integrasi matematik dan konsep Maqasid Syariah dalam pengajaran matematik peringkat menengah rendah

Preliminary study on the need to integrate mathematics and Maqasid Shariah concepts in the teaching of mathematics at the lower secondary level

Abstract

This study aims to identify the level of implementation of Mathematics teaching and students’ understanding of the Maqasid Shariah principles at the lower secondary level, as well as to assess the need to integrate these principles into Mathematics instruction. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, with the first objective addressed quantitatively through a structured questionnaire distributed to 137 students at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Nilai Impian, Negeri Sembilan, while the second objective was addressed qualitatively through semi-structured interviews with Mathematics and Islamic Education teachers. The findings indicate that students’ knowledge and awareness of Maqasid Shariah principles are low because the term is not formally taught, even though related topics are covered in the Islamic Education curriculum. The qualitative findings identified several challenges in integrating Maqasid Shariah principles into Mathematics teaching. The implications of these findings highlight the need to design a Mathematics teaching approach that systematically incorporates Maqasid Shariah values, while future research is recommended to develop Maqasid Shariah-based teaching modules to enhance students’ understanding and awareness.

ABSTRAK

Kajian ini bertujuan mengenal pasti tahap pelaksanaan pengajaran Matematik dan pemahaman pelajar terhadap Maqasid Syariah di peringkat menengah rendah serta menilai keperluan integrasi prinsip tersebut dalam pengajaran Matematik. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kaedah campuran, dengan objektif pertama dijalankan secara kuantitatif melalui soal selidik berstruktur kepada 137 pelajar Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Nilai Impian, Negeri Sembilan, manakala objektif kedua dijalankan secara kualitatif melalui temubual separa berstruktur bersama guru Matematik dan guru Pendidikan Islam. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan bahawa tahap pengetahuan dan kesedaran pelajar terhadap Maqasid Syariah adalah rendah kerana istilah tersebut tidak diajarkan secara rasmi walaupun topik berkaitan diterapkan dalam subjek Pendidikan Islam. Kajian kualitatif pula mengenal pasti beberapa cabaran dalam usaha mengintegrasikan Maqasid Syariah dalam pengajaran Matematik. Implikasi dapatan ini menunjukkan terdapat keperluan merangka pendekatan matematik yang mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai Maqasid Syariah, manakala cadangan kajian masa hadapan adalah merangka modul pengajaran Matematik berasaskan Maqasid Syariah bagi meningkatkan pemahaman dan kesedaran pelajar.
