 ISLAMIC EDUCATION CHALLENGES ERA 4.0

Islamic education is at a crossroads in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 with disruptive innovation, so that it has a tremendous impact in giving color to the world of Islamic education. Islamic education must choose whether to remain comfortable at this time or open up and be ready to compete openly, to answer the challenges of the times in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0.

The industrial revolution era 4.0 Islamic education is asked to be able to adapt and be able to provide answers to the symptoms of change in society. The existence of Islamic education will be left behind in the absence of a willingness to open up, by opening up it will be a solution and will be the answer to various problems that exist in the industrial revolution era 4.0. The analysis that is important to consider in reforms within Islamic education, namely changing the old mindset where in open ways in the field of bureaucracy or rules in the field of Islamic education. Islamic education must be innovative so that it can provide solutions that are needed by the times. Islamic education must be able to reconstruct the contextual aspects of the changes that occur.

Problems in Islamic education come from internal or internal factors and external or external factors, internal factors can be seen from many Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia such as Islamic boarding schools, madrasas and universities, but the educational ethos is still very low so it is necessary to change the education system. In Islam, it seems that Islamic education must be capable of not only religious knowledge, but also must be able to master science and technology. There is a very urgent need if students must master science and technology, communication, and politics, so that the ethos of Islamic education can improve following developments in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0.

Islamic education if you look at the history of the heyday of Islam such as Andalusia and Baghdad as centers of Islamic knowledge and civilization, of course, it will be much different from the current situation, where Islamic education follows the development of western education. Western education in Andalusia and Baghdad was precisely what followed Islamic education. Western progress today is due to the mastery of knowledge needed in all aspects of life such as in the fields of social, economic, political, defense, weaponry, astronomy, trade and education.

Meanwhile, the external factor in Islamic education is the pessimistic attitude of the community towards Islamic educational institutions towards the opportunities for graduates after entering the community, such as opportunities in the world of work and the ability to master technology. Technological advances also have an impact on social and cultural changes that are oriented to the needs of the community, so it is necessary to answer these challenges. No less great are the issues developed by irresponsible parties in weakening the field of Islamic education such as radicalism, terrorism and wars of thought.
