Konvergensi Kurikulum Pendidikan Agama dan Sekuler dalam Pendidikan Islam di Indonesia: Analisis Literatur
Abstract
This study explores the convergence of religious and secular education curricula in Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia, focusing on the literature analysis of Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) Insan Cendekia and Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN). The main objective of this study is to analyze how curriculum integration can create a holistic and relevant education system to the needs of the times. Findings from the literature indicate that MAN Insan Cendekia has successfully combined religious and general curricula, producing graduates who are competent in secular academic fields and have a deep understanding of religion. This approach is in line with the theory of holistic education that emphasizes the development of all aspects of the individual in a balanced manner. The transformation of UIN from IAIN reflects the principles of liberal education that emphasize intellectual freedom, critical thinking, and multidisciplinary understanding. Although integration has shown positive results, there are challenges in finding a balance between the depth of religious material and secular knowledge. Community support, including from parents, government, and other educational institutions, is essential for the success of this convergence. Evidence from the literature suggests that curriculum integration can improve students' competencies in various fields, making them better prepared to contribute effectively in the global society. Policy implications include the need for development policies that support convergent curriculum, teacher capacity building, and provision of educational facilities capable of creating a holistic and inclusive education system.
