The results indicate that the problems remain high, with mean scores of 17.57 for teachers’ competence, 18.09 for instructional implementation, and 20.33 for system and resource support, all categorized as problematic. These findings indicate that the integration of Biology and Islamic values has not been optimally implemented and requires improvements in teachers’ competence, instructional practices, and institutional support.

Analisis Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Peserta Didik Pada Materi Perubahan dan Pelestarian Lingkungan Hidup
Problem-solving ability is an essential competence that needs to be developed in students to face real-life problems, particularly those related to environmental issues. This study aimed to analyze students’ problem-solving abilities on the topic of environmental change and conservation for Phase E at SMA N 3 Solok. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach. The research subjects were Phase E students of SMA N 3 Solok selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument was a problem-solving ability test developed based on five indicators: defining the problem, examining the problem, planning solutions, implementing the plan, and evaluating the solution. The data were analyzed using percentage analysis techniques. The results showed that students’ problem-solving abilities were generally in the category of needing improvement. The indicator of defining the problem demonstrated better achievement compared to other indicators, while the indicators of examining the problem, planning solutions, implementing the plan, and evaluating the solution still require improvement. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a basis for developing learning strategies oriented toward improving students’ problem-solving abilities in the context of biology learning and sustainable environmental education. Keywords: problem-solving ability, environmental change, environmental conservation, Phase E, senior high school

Problematika Guru dalam Mengintegrasikan Pembelajaran Biologi dengan Islam Di Madrasah Aliyah Negeri: Literatur Review
This study discusses the challenges faced by teachers in integrating Biology learning with Islam in State Islamic Senior High Schools (Madrasah Aliyah Negeri), encompassing conceptual, pedagogical, and structural difficulties and challenges. The study aims to systematically examine the forms, sources, and characteristics of these challenges through a literature review. The research design employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with the stages of searching, selecting, and reviewing accredited scientific articles. Data sources were obtained from Indonesian and English articles on Google Scholar (2019–2026) relevant to the integration of Biology and Islam. Content analysis was conducted on eight articles that met the criteria, resulting in findings that challenges faced by teachers in integrating Biology learning with Islam include limited integrated teaching materials, uneven pedagogical and interdisciplinary scientific competencies, curriculum and learning resource constraints, and limited structural support. This study is expected to serve as a reference for developing Biology learning that is more integrated with Islam in State Islamic Senior High Schools (Madrasah Aliyah Negeri).
