Abstract
To cultivate a generation that is critical, possesses strong character, and demonstrates ecological awareness, biology education in the disruption era requires a transformative and meaningful approach. The purpose of this study is to critically and integratively analyze the relationship between Muhammadiyah’s ideological values and the experiential outdoor learning approach in biology education. This study employs an analytic-critical library research method, drawing upon official Muhammadiyah documents such as The Philosophy of Muhammadiyah Education, The Development of Science and Technology (IPTEKS), Fiqh of Governance, and Fiqh of Information, as well as KH. Ahmad Dahlan’s speech “Tali Pengikat Hidup” (The Bond of Life). The findings indicate that experiential learning models, particularly the ExO-RICH approach, are aligned with Muhammadiyah’s educational principles, which emphasize the integration of practice, spiritual values, and knowledge. Biology learning based on authentic real-world experiences has the potential to enhance students’ ecological awareness, ethical literacy in science, and scientific character. Through this integration, Muhammadiyah not only addresses national and global educational challenges but also contributes uniquely to building higher education that is Islamic, contextual, and progressive.
[Untuk membentuk generasi yang kritis, berkarakter, dan berwawasan ekologis, pendidikan biologi di era disrupsi memerlukan pendekatan yang transformatif dan bermakna. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis secara kritis dan integratif hubungan antara nilai-nilai ideologis Muhammadiyah dengan pendekatan pembelajaran experiential outdoor dalam pendidikan biologi. Kajian ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka analitik-kritis dan mengacu pada dokumen resmi Muhammadiyah seperti Filsafat Pendidikan Muhammadiyah, Pengembangan IPTEKS, Fikih Tata Kelola, dan Fikih Informasi, serta pidato "Tali Pengikat Hidup" dari KH. Ahmad Dahlan. Hasil diskusi menunjukkan bahwa model pembelajaran pengalaman, terutama pendekatan ExO-RICH, sejalan dengan prinsip pendidikan Muhammadiyah, yang menekankan integrasi antara amal, nilai spiritual, dan ilmu. Pembelajaran biologi yang didasarkan pada pengalaman nyata di dunia nyata memiliki potensi untuk meningkatkan kesadaran ekologis siswa, literasi etika sains, dan karakter ilmiah mereka. Dengan integrasi ini, Muhammadiyah tidak hanya menjawab tantangan pendidikan nasional dan global, tetapi juga memberikan kontribusi unik mereka untuk membangun pendidikan tinggi yang Islami, kontekstual, dan maju.]
