Abstract

Background: The hypnoteaching method, which integrates principles of hypnosis and pedagogical strategies, has gained increasing attention as an innovative approach to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. However, its application in Islamic Education and Moral (IEM) subjects remains underexplored and lacks systematic synthesis.

Objective: This study aims to systematically review and synthesize existing literature on the use of the hypnoteaching method in Islamic Education and Moral subjects to identify key themes, effectiveness patterns, and research gaps.

Method: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Databases searched included Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, Google Scholar, and DOAJ. Articles published between 2014 and 2024 in English and Indonesian were included. A total of 847 articles were initially identified; after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 32 articles were selected for final analysis.

Results: Findings reveal that hypnoteaching significantly improves student motivation (85%), moral character formation (78%), and academic performance in IEM subjects (72%). Three dominant themes emerged: (1) cognitive-affective engagement, (2) spiritual value internalization, and (3) teacher-student rapport enhancement. The method shows stronger effects at the elementary and junior high school levels compared to senior high school.

Conclusion: The hypnoteaching method offers a promising, evidence-based pedagogical innovation for IEM subjects. Future research should address longitudinal effectiveness, standardized training protocols for teachers, and cross-cultural applicability.
