MENUJU PARADIGMA PENDIDIKAN ISLAM TRANSFORMATIF

Abstract

A critical comment proposed to education is on its teaching pattern. The teachers are regarded as being the center of knowledge (teacher-oriented). In fact, the task of the teacher is to stimulate the students’ potency. Islamic education also has been criticized as exclusive. This paper tries to introduce a new ‘color’ in an islamic teaching by using ‘transformative approach’. This means that an education should regard an academic approach,  not a bureaucracy approach;support the students to look for the knowledge, not wait for knowledge;propose student-oriented, not teacher and state-oriented; stimulate active students,not passive students; put the students as theocentric-anthropocentric, not anthropocentric alone; manage de-centralistic schools, not centralistic schools; inclusive, integral, and holistic teaching, not dogmatic teaching.
