Machfud Bachtiyar, M Yunus Abu Bakar, Evi Fatimatur Rusydiyah

Abstract

In response to evolving educational demands, especially in the post-COVID-19 context, Madrasah Aliyah Bilingual has implemented various learning innovations aimed at enhancing educational quality and student outcomes. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to examine and synthesize learning innovations adopted by the institution. Sources were selected based on relevance, credibility, and contribution to the understanding of innovation in Islamic education. The findings reveal three major innovation themes: (1) Digital technology integration, including the use of podcasts and virtual platforms to sustain learning continuity and boost student motivation; (2) Adaptive curriculum development, exemplified by strategic library management and the Bilingual Class System to foster reading interest and global readiness; and (3) Interactive pedagogical approaches, such as the "Arabic Day" initiative to strengthen language proficiency and experiential hadith instruction to enhance cognitive engagement. These innovations reflect Madrasah Aliyah Bilingual’s proactive stance in modernizing Islamic education. The study underscores the critical role of ongoing innovation in curriculum, pedagogy, and technology to support students in achieving their full potential and responding to global educational challenges.
