Abstract

Natural science education plays a crucial role in shaping students' scientific understanding. In the context of Islamic education, science is understood not only as an exploration of the physical world but also as a means to recognize the greatness of Allah SWT. This study aims to examine the integration between Islamic Religious Education and Natural Science in shaping the environmental awareness of elementary school students through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The SLR will systematically identify, evaluate, and synthesize relevant research results from various scientific sources published within the last 10 years. The results of the review show that integrating Islamic values, such as the concept of earth keepers and responsibility, into science learning materials and approaches can enhance students' understanding of environmental issues more fully, both scientifically and spiritually. Studies also reveal that integrated thematic learning models and contextual approaches based on kauniyah verses are effective in helping students internalize religious values and environmental awareness. These findings suggest that integrating Islamic Values and science significantly contributes to fostering environmental love from an early age.
