Studi Normatif Pendidikan Islam Multikultural
Abstract: This paper basically
argues that the many social problems that we are now faced are in fact product
of the system of our religious education. The educational system of our
Madrasas has not thus far shown its ability to address the spiritual needs of
our students. This resulted in students absorbing the physical and at best the
intellectual dimension of education by ignoring the moral and behavioral
aspects of it. On this ground –the paper argues- the system of our religious
education must be revisited and reevaluated. Such system must not only
indoctrinate students to learn about heaven, hell, what is lawful and lawful,
belief and infidelity and the like, but must also teach them about tolerance,
understanding and other social values. Our religious education must teach
students conceptual knowledge but also educate them about how to respect others
and live in a plural society. It is about these that this paper is concerned
with. It is about the scheme of religious education for pluralism or multiculturalism.
