HOMESCHOOLING CURRICULUM FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF IBN KHALDUN: A PHILOSOPHICAL AND CONTEXTUAL ANALYSIS IN INDONESIA

Ina Zainah Nasution

Abstract


Homeschooling is an alternative form of education that is growing in Indonesia. However, studies on homeschooling curricula are still dominated by Western modern educational perspectives. This study aims to analyze homeschooling curricula from the perspective of Ibn Khaldun through philosophical and contextual analysis in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method and conceptual analysis of Ibn Khaldun's main work, particularly Al-Muqaddimah. The results of the study show that Ibn Khaldun's educational principles are highly relevant to the characteristics of the homeschooling curriculum. In the Indonesian context, these principles are in line with the direction of the Merdeka Curriculum policy, which emphasizes flexibility, differentiation, and character building. This article contributes to the enrichment of studies on the homeschooling curriculum based on Islamic educational thought, which is relevant to the development of alternative Islamic education in Indonesia.
