MODEL KONSEP PENDIDIKAN ISLAM HEUTAGOGI (MKPIH) KE ARAH PEMBENTUKAN MURID MADANI

Abstract

The formation of murid madani aspires to produce a future generation of skilled students possessing holistic potential. The nation’s aspiration to elevate the quality of education must be realized by applying futuristic pedagogies, such as the heutagogical approach. Heutagogy emphasizes student-centred teaching and learning while focusing on karamah insaniah through lifelong knowledge and skill development. Furthermore, the foundational principles of heutagogy align with the goals of Islamic Education, which aim to foster student potential through continuous education and guidance. Therefore, the Heutagogical Islamic Education Conceptual Model (MKPIH) should be introduced to enhance Islamic Education teachers' understanding of the heutagogical approach to teaching and learning. Four teachers from four schools in four states, namely Kelantan, Pahang, Terengganu, and Selangor, were selected as study participants using purposive sampling techniques. In addition, focused group discussions with eight students and document analysis were conducted. Triangulation, continuous engagement, member checks, audit trails, and peer reviews were employed to address data validity and reliability issues. Data were thematically analyzed to filter codes, forming criteria, and finally building relevant themes using the software NVivo 12 Plus. The findings indicate that teachers comprehensively understand the heutagogical approaches applied in Islamic Education. The heutagogical concept comprises five elements: student autonomy, student-centeredness, the teacher as a guide, the use of technology, and alignment with religious demands. The principle of heutagogy, which highlights the student as the main agent of learning, is not unfamiliar to teachers, as they appear capable of emphasizing it in their teaching processes. Therefore, the Heutagogical Islamic Education Conceptual Model (MKPIH) is relevant in strengthening teachers' understanding of their role in shaping murid madani. This approach meets the demands of modern education and consistent with religious requirements, ensuring that students are equipped with lifelong skills for the future.
