This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the Socio-Scientific Issues (SSI) learning model in improving students' environmental care character and to examine these changes from an axiological perspective as a process of internalizing values. This study employs a quantitative descriptive design, with questionnaire results and literature reviews as the primary data sources. This study focuses on Akidah Akhlak (Islamic creed and ethics) for grade III students, with a total of 20 students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI) Hidayatussibyan. Data collection was carried out using an environmental care character questionnaire on a Likert scale of 1-4, and the data were analyzed with n-gain. The results of the analysis of students' environmental care attitude achievement showed a significant increase from 25% of students with the category of caring enough, 45% of students with the category of caring, and 30% of students with the category of very caring, to 100% of students with the category of very caring. The n-gain in this study was 0.7, which was high. Axiologically, this research shows that SSI learning serves as a value-transformation mechanism through three stages: value exposure (students are confronted with real environmental dilemmas), moral deliberation (students weigh the impacts, norms, and consequences), and value enactment (students translate decisions into real actions)Downloads
