Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of Islamic Religious Education learning based on classroom segregation in enhancing students’ learning concentration, academic self-confidence, Islamic character formation, and discipline at MTs Al-Khoirot Malang. The institution applies a gender-based learning system through the separation of school buildings, classrooms, and teaching staff according to students’ gender. This research employed a qualitative method with a case study approach to gain an in-depth understanding of segregated learning practices within the context of Islamic education. Research data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were subsequently analyzed using descriptive-interpretative techniques. The findings reveal that the implementation of classroom segregation-based learning contributes positively to both the learning process and students’ educational outcomes. First, the segregation system enhances students’ learning concentration and active participation by minimizing cross-gender social distractions, thereby creating a more conducive classroom environment. Second, segregated learning strengthens students’ academic self-confidence in asking questions, engaging in discussions, and expressing opinions during the learning process. Third, this system contributes to the development of Islamic character and student discipline through the reinforcement of moral values, ethical conduct, and behavioral control aligned with the culture of pesantren-based education. Therefore, classroom segregation-based learning can serve as an alternative educational strategy for fostering a conducive, religious, and character-oriented learning environment that supports students’ holistic development
