Multicultural-Based Islamic Education Curriculum Construction Approach

Abstract

Studies related to efforts to find the concept of multicultural-based religious education need to be carried out. This can be started by formulating theories and concepts of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in Muslim communities and national educational institutions under the coordination of the Ministry of Religion and the Ministry of National Education.
Islamic religious education based on multiculturalism is learning to live with differences, building mutual trust, mutual understanding, and demanding mutual respect, conflict and reconciliation without violence. A multicultural Islamic religious education curriculum can be developed through material from the Koran, fiqh, morals and Islamic history. In its development, the curriculum needs to be based on the principles of content integration, knowledge construction processes, fair teaching methods and reduction of prejudice.
The curriculum is the core of educational institutions, because the curriculum is offered to the public, with the support of qualified human resources (HR) teachers, as well as other adequate learning resources. We can interpret the discourse about the curriculum that the curriculum is only Course Out Line or GBPP, or includes all the experiences provided by teachers to students in their educational transformation.
