Characteristics of Learning Environments in Communities and Madrasahs in Supporting the Learning Process: A Study of Integrative Analysis Using NVivo 12 Software and Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to describe the characteristics of the learning environment in the community and madrasahs to support the learning process. This research design uses a qualitative type to elaborate on the research results. (Ulhaq, 2023), The subjects of the research are the Head of the madrasa, 4 teachers, and 2 students. The techniques for data collection used are observation, interviews, and documentation. The analysis in this study integrates bibliometric analysis to review the latest research recommendations with qualitative analysis using NVivo 12 software. This research is based on bibliometric analysis that had been previously conducted using Publish or Perish (POP) and VOSViewer, which show that the topic of the learning process related to the community environment and madrasa is still rarely researched. The analysis is integrated with qualitative analysis using NVivo 12, which identifies three themes: characteristics of the community (values and learning), school environment (students, education, madrasa), and the relationship between community characteristics and schools is closely linked to the context (support and interaction). Thus, the characteristics of the learning environment in the community and madrasah can support the learning process. The implications of this research are to provide scientific contributions in creating a good learning environment for students, not only focused on the school environment, but the research also provides useful implications for schools to implement collaboration with the community environment to achieve a more meaningful learning process.
