Abstract

Text size

This study is driven by the urgent need to transform Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in secondary schools from a traditional lecture-based model toward a more participatory and contextual approach. Cooperative learning is considered a promising strategy to enhance student engagement and foster the internalization of Islamic values through group interaction and collaboration. This research employs a bibliometric approach based on 211 documents retrieved from the Scopus database (2015–2025), analyzed using R and the Biblioshiny interface. The results reveal a growing trend in cooperative learning publications, with dominant contributions from the social sciences and strong research collaboration between countries such as the United States and Indonesia. The novelty of this study lies in its systematic mapping of conceptual structures and thematic trends of cooperative learning research within the context of Islamic education a perspective rarely explored in previous literature. This research contributes theoretically by developing a data-driven conceptual framework and practically by offering strategic insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers to design cooperative learning models grounded in Islamic values and responsive to 21st-century educational needs. Furthermore, this study identifies current dominant themes and emerging topics that have strong potential for future research development in the field of cooperative learning within Islamic Religious Education.
