Abstract

In contemporary academia, leading universities such as Stanford and Oxford have adopted strategic programs and initiatives concerning cultural matters, firmly believing that a graduating student operates within a social framework and must comprehend their surroundings' cultural and human values. Consequently, the enhancement and transmission of an ideal culture, as the identity and spirit of a community, particularly within university environments, has become a necessity and a priority. To achieve this objective, the implementation of teaching methodologies, especially in the fields of humanities and Islamic studies, presents a significant opportunity that has unfortunately been overlooked in the higher education system of the country. The Analytical-Dynamic Discovery Teaching Method (ADDTM), with its five operational steps, can address part of this gap and play a beneficial role in deepening, expanding, and sharing essential cultural elements. This method serves as a foundation for reinforcing the teaching strategy of embedding culture within education and vice versa. The research method is documented with a focus on content analysis and a data sheet tool, which have been collected in a library format.
