pdf Islamic Education as an Academic Discipline: Definition and Principles
Keywords:
Islamic education, character development, globalization, human capital, competency-based curriculumAbstract
Research Objectives - This study examines how Islamic education develops globally competitive human resources with moral integrity, focusing on socio-economic impacts in Indonesia's globalization context.
Method - Using qualitative library research, we analyzed Quranic texts, Hadith, and contemporary literature through NVivo 12-assisted thematic analysis and hermeneutic interpretation of Islamic educational principles.
Research Findings - The study reveals: 1) Islamic education's tripartite framework (philosophical-historical-practical) effectively integrates spiritual and professional development; 2) Tawhid (faith) and tawazun (balance) principles cultivate moral-spiritual-social competencies; 3) Quranic values (Al-Mujadilah 58:11) demonstrate concrete applications for 21st-century skill development.
Theory and Practical Implications - Theoretically, this bridges Islamic pedagogy with human capital theory. Practically, it offers a curriculum model aligning religious values with labor market demands through character-based skill development.
Novelty – This research uniquely demonstrates through empirical evidence how classical Islamic education simultaneously develops ethical consciousness and professional competencies in globalized contexts.
