Evaluation of Behaviorism Learning Based on Wasathiyah Values
Main Article Content
This research was motivated by the prevalence of less moderate student behaviors, such as the decline of tolerance and the increasing tendency toward group egocentrism within the school environment. As a solution, this article proposed an integration model for evaluating Islamic Religious Education learning based on behavioristic habituation to internalize wasatiyah (religious moderation) values. This study employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive field study method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation.The findings revealed that the implementation of habituation-based evaluation instruments through reward, punishment, and environmental conditioning mechanisms contributed to shaping students’ behaviors and moral practices in a structured manner. Positive impacts were observed in the improvement of individual discipline and the quality of students’ social interactions. The study concluded that although behavioristic-based evaluation was effective in developing external behavioral habits during the initial stages, this model had limitations because it did not fully address students’ intrinsic awareness and internal value formation. Therefore, achieving long-term effectiveness requires integration with more reflective and humanistic approaches to value development.
