Isu - Isu Kontemporer Pendidikan Islam

Abstract

Islamic education faces various challenges resulting from the development of science, digital technology, globalization, social change, and the competency demands of the twenty-first century. This paper aims to explain the concept of contemporary issues in Islamic education, identify the scope of these issues, and formulate adaptive development strategies that remain grounded in the values of the Qur’an and Sunnah. This paper applies a literature review approach by examining books, scientific articles, and academic sources related to Islamic education. The findings indicate that contemporary issues in Islamic education include the implementation of student-centered learning, curriculum development, improvement of educator quality, student management, educational financing, enhancement of learning quality, graduate competencies, and management of educational facilities and infrastructure. Islamic education also faces disparities in educational quality, limited access, weak research culture, digital literacy problems, and challenges related to religious moderation. The development of Islamic education requires curriculum modernization, stronger digital competencies, the promotion of research and innovation, improved educational management, reinforcement of character education, and effective use of learning technologies. These strategies must be implemented in an integrated manner so that Islamic education can produce graduates who demonstrate intellectual, spiritual, social, and professional excellence while maintaining a strong Islamic identity.

Pendidikan Islam juga menghadapi kesenjangan mutu, keterbatasan akses pendidikan, rendahnya budaya riset, persoalan literasi digital, serta tantangan moderasi beragama. Pengembangan pendidikan Islam memerlukan modernisasi kurikulum, penguatan kompetensi digital, peningkatan budaya riset dan inovasi, perbaikan manajemen pendidikan, penguatan pendidikan karakter, serta optimalisasi teknologi pembelajaran.
