Abstract

This concept paper refers to researchers' case study to examine and develop a Pedagogical Methodology Framework in the Field of Aqidah of Islamic Education Teachers (IET) through Da’wah Approach for Special Educational Needs Students (SENS). This study uses qualitative methods. The triangulation method involving interview data, observation, and document analysis was used to explore the use of the GPI pedagogical Da’wah approach in the field of SENS creed. A pilot study was also conducted to test the validity and reliability of the instrument items in preparation for the actual study. The Cohen Kappa Index analysis was also used in this study to build reliability for the units of analysis from verbatim qualitative data. This analysis was conducted by seeking the agreement value among qualitative experts regarding the units of analysis of a studied theme obtained from interviews. The N'Vivo 15 software is also used to analyze each theme related to the pedagogical methods in Aqidah for Islamic Education Teachers (IET) through the Da’wah approach. It is hoped that through the development of the Pedagogical Methodology Framework in the Field of Aqidah of Islamic Education Teachers (IET) through a Da’wah Approach for Special Educational Needs Students (SENS), it can serve as a guide and reference for educators, especially GPI who teach SENS, always to be prepared and make changes to ensure that Islamic Education teaching, particularly in the field of Aqidah for SENS under the Integrated Special Education Program (ISEP), becomes more engaging and impactful for SENS to understand.
