While HOTS-based evaluation is emphasized in the Merdeka Curriculum, its application in Islamic subjects, particularly fiqh, remains underexplored. This study investigates the process and challenges faced by fiqh teachers in developing HOTS-based assessments at an Islamic senior high school in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study, data were gathered through classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, then analyzed using an interactive model with triangulation for validation. Findings indicate that teachers follow standard steps—competency analysis, blueprint design, stimulus development, item writing, and rubric construction—but encounter significant barriers, including limited mastery of Bloom’s Taxonomy, difficulties in creating contextual stimuli, dependence on textbooks, and lack of training. This study highlights the need for targeted professional development to strengthen teachers’ capacity in designing HOTS-oriented assessments. </em></p> <p>Rendahnya kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa Indonesia yang ditunjukkan oleh laporan PISA dan Bank Dunia menegaskan urgensi penerapan Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) dalam praktik evaluasi. Meskipun Kurikulum Merdeka menekankan pentingnya penilaian berbasis HOTS, penerapannya pada mata pelajaran keagamaan, khususnya fikih, masih jarang dikaji. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis proses penyusunan serta tantangan guru fikih dalam mengembangkan soal berbasis HOTS di salah satu madrasah aliyah di Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif studi kasus dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan analisis dokumen. Data dianalisis secara interaktif dengan uji keabsahan melalui triangulasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa guru mengikuti tahapan umum—analisis kompetensi, penyusunan kisi-kisi, pengembangan stimulus, penulisan soal, dan penyusunan rubrik—namun menghadapi hambatan serius, seperti keterbatasan penguasaan Taksonomi Bloom, kesulitan merancang stimulus kontekstual, ketergantungan pada buku teks, serta minimnya pelatihan. Temuan ini menegaskan perlunya pengembangan profesional berkelanjutan bagi guru untuk memperkuat kapasitas dalam merancang penilaian berbasis HOTS. </p> Titin Widya Risni Hendy Adinda Khusnul Khotimah Copyright (c) 2025 Titin Widya Risni, Hendy, Adinda Khusnul Khotimah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-09-12 2025-09-12 6 4 363 372 10.35719/adabiyah.v6i4.1202 https://al-adabiyah.uinkhas.ac.id/index.php/adabiyah/article/view/1201 <p><em>This study examines character education at Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor, Campus 10 Jambi, using Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological System Theory (EST). Unlike most studies focusing on formal schools, it highlights the underexplored pesantren context. A qualitative case study was conducted through observations, interviews, and document analysis with leaders, teachers, and students. Findings show that character formation occurs holistically: the microsystem (dormitories, classrooms, mosques) fosters discipline; the mesosystem (teacher–mentor relations) ensures consistency; the exosystem (central policies) provides uniformity; the macrosystem (Panca Jiwa) grounds values; and the chronosystem reflects curricular adaptation. The novelty lies in the development of a Religious Ecological System Theory that integrates spiritual dimensions into EST. Practically, this model serves as a reference for designing adaptive and sustainable strategies in character education. </em></p> <p>Penelitian ini menganalisis implementasi pendidikan karakter di Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor Kampus 10 Jambi melalui <em>Ecological System Theory</em> (EST) Bronfenbrenner. Berbeda dari kajian terdahulu yang berfokus pada sekolah formal, penelitian ini menyoroti konteks pesantren yang masih jarang diteliti. Menggunakan metode kualitatif studi kasus, data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan analisis dokumen dengan pimpinan, guru, dan santri. Hasil menunjukkan pembentukan karakter berlangsung holistik: mikrosistem (asrama, kelas, masjid) menanamkan kedisiplinan; mesosistem (relasi guru–pembina) menjaga konsistensi; eksosistem (kebijakan pusat) memberi standar seragam; makrosistem (Panca Jiwa) menjadi fondasi nilai; dan kronosistem mencerminkan adaptasi kurikulum. Kebaruan penelitian ini adalah pengembangan <em>Religious Ecological System Theory</em> yang menekankan dimensi spiritual. Model ini memberi rujukan praktis bagi lembaga pendidikan lain untuk strategi penguatan karakter yang adaptif dan berkelanjutan. </p> Richa Sucianingtyas Syamsul Arifin Rudianto Salis Masruhin Copyright (c) 2025 Richa Sucianingtyas, Syamsul Arifin, Rudianto, Salis Masruhin https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2025-08-29 2025-08-29 6 4 373 381 10.35719/adabiyah.v6i4.1201
