PERAN ASPEK RELIGIUS DALAM PENGEMBANGAN KURIKULUM PENDIDIKAN DI INDONESIA

Abstract

This study discusses the role of religious aspects in the development of the Islamic Education curriculum in Indonesia. Religious values serve as a fundamental foundation in shaping the direction, objectives, and implementation of the curriculum. The study uses a library research approach by examining relevant books related to Islamic education and curriculum development. The findings indicate that religious aspects play a significant role as a philosophical foundation, a means of character building, and a guide in the learning process. In addition, these values function as a filter in facing the challenges of globalization, helping students maintain their moral and spiritual identity. The integration of religious values into the curriculum contributes to the formation of students who are intellectually competent and spiritually grounded. Therefore, strengthening the religious dimension in curriculum development is essential to achieve holistic education outcomes.
