The global environmental crisis highlights the need for educational institu

Using a qualitative case study design, the research draws on curriculum documents, concepts of Islamic ecotheology, and observations of environmentally oriented educational practices. Data were analyzed through content analysis to identify patterns of value integration and pedagogical implementation. The findings indicate that incorporating the values of tawhid, khilafah, amanah, and masuliyyah into the curriculum fosters environmental care as a form of worship and spiritual responsibility. The curriculum does not merely introduce ecological themes but embeds theological consci

Krisis lingkungan global menegaskan perlunya lembaga pendidikan, termasuk pendidikan Islam, untuk menumbuhkan kesadaran ekologis pada generasi muda. Namun, kurikulum pendidikan Islam yang ada umumnya masih menekankan aspek doktrinal dan kognitif tanpa integrasi ekoteologis yang terstruktur.
