Instructional Strategies: A Way of Integrating Faith and Learning in Higher Education

Abstract

Despite the vast research on the integration of faith and learning, little is known on
how instructional strategies can enhance what true education necessitates, i.e. an
IFL that prepares learners beyond the present life. This quantitative study explored
the implementation of such strategies as perceived by students in higher education
in West Indonesia. The findings revealed that to be more effective and powerful in
IFL, instructional strategies play an important role—within and without the
classroom setting. Implications of this study include the necessities for teachers’
knowledge on the effective application of instructional strategies.
