Concept; Constitutional political education;
Islamic perspective |
The idealism of the nation and state is often reduced by
political behavior that does not reflect maturity and statesmanship. Both by
politicians and officials as well as by the community and the people. This
can be seen in people's lives when approaching general elections that
consider there is no problem with the practice of Money Politics. This study
aims to determine the concept of constitutional political education from an
Islamic perspective, its implementation in Formal, Informal and Non-formal
Education that applies the Tadabbur Methodology and
Thematic Interpretation of Constitutional Political Education from an Islamic
Perspective. The results of the research that the author finds are the concept
of political education, constitutional education in an Islamic perspective
associated with Bloom's theory, that education can be felt and produced
cognitively, affectively and psychomotorly. If
political education can be realized in this picture, the success of political
education can affect the world of education, both formal, informal and
non-formal. In conclusion, the idealism of nation and state is often
threatened by political behavior that does not reflect maturity and
statesmanship, both on the part of politicians and officials as well as the
community and the people. |

INTRODUCTION
Political education is a joint task
between the government, political parties and society who understand politics (Woolley & Howard, 2018).
The strategic duties and obligations of a state cannot be separated from the
two roles mandated by the people, namely organizing and managing them and the
state towards a just and prosperous life. For this reason, legislative
leadership and politics have a mandate, task and strategic role, namely creating
blueprints and grand designs for state and nation buildings (Hertel-Fernandez, 2019).
Constitutionalism and the Constitution, which is the basis for all legislation
and regulations, and plays a fundamental role in the establishment and
functioning of the State and Nation, is the first and main product of the
Legislative Leadership and Political Institute which is tasked with forming
rules and legislation (Lande, 2017).
Jimly Asshiddiqie
put forward 10 functions of the constitution, namely: 1) The function of
determining and limiting the power of state organs. 2) The function of
regulating power relations between state organs. 3) The function of regulating
power relations between state organs and citizens. 4) The function of providing
or providing legitimacy to state power or the activities of administering state
power. 5) The function of channeling or transferring authority from the
original source of power (the people) to state organs. 6) Symbolic function as
a unifier. 7) Symbolic function as a reference for national identity and
greatness. 8) Symbolic function as the center of the ceremony. 9) Function as a
means of controlling society, both in the narrow sense only in the political
field and in the broad sense covering the social and economic fields. 10)
Function as a means of engineering and renewing society, both in the narrow and
broad sense.
The
concept of education is used as an analytical tool to analyze and map
constitutional socio-political problems and phenomena (Planas
& Valero, 2016). William Nunnally writes, in Education as Regime Change in Aristotle's Politics , that in Aristotle's Politics, Education
is a regime of change:
Through
an analysis of the Nicomachean Ethics, the Politics, and the Constitution of
Athens, this study demonstrates that there is, according to Aristotle, only one
proper method of regime change: education. Through proper education, of both
the young and the old, both civic and intellectual, in what is noble and what
is useful, the regime is able to progress towards the ideal regime simply. This
ideal regime simply, then, is the rule of the virtuous multitude, in which all
citizens of the city have achieved full virtue. Given that this may in fact be
impossible, it is also apparent that it is only through proper education that
the best regime possible is achieved; any regime that has the ability, through
education, to move closer to the regime of the virtuous multitude (Nunnally
Jr, 2015).
The
Islamic perspective, as a religion that has been the main reference for the
birth of Muslim Civilization for more than 1444 years and has entered the
mid-15th century, has become the main paradigm and concept in formulating
problems and solutions. Apart from considering the experience of the Indonesian
people, especially Muslims as the majority of contributors of ideas, struggles
and sacrifices in the process of establishing the Unitary State of the Republic
of Indonesia (NKRI) (Abdurrahim,
2023). The way of Muslims, as in the time of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, which has produced a
Written Constitution which is recognized by the World and is considered
"The Written Constitution in the World" (the first written Constitution
in the world) is the main teacher of constitutions and their constitutionalism.
Social
phenomena, especially in the political field, have not shown intelligent living
in politics, such as the phenomenon of general elections (Pemilu)
which have not succeeded in producing leaders of quality and integrity,
including for the legislative body (Syam
& Sahruddin, 2020). So decision making and policies
outlined in various laws and regulations show a number of injustices, such as
the phenomenon of the promulgation of mining regulations which are exploited by
a number of mining entrepreneurs who pay little attention to environmental
impact analysis and social inequality.�
A literature review is something that must be included in all scientific studies, especially in journal research. The literature review in this study is about the educational implications of Islamic education (Ahmad et al., 2020). Many people have studied this research, especially in scientific journals, on this topic. The author's study in this research illustrates the basic things about political education in the constitutional perception of Islam. In the journal Political education as a learning process to form political awareness and the role of citizenship, written by Aris Prayuga in the EDUKASIA Journal, that political education is a continuous process, through political education what must be done and maintained is in forming awareness of the role of living human beings and the role of citizenship. This human role enables the development of the talents and abilities of each individual, in carrying out their political functions in accordance with the status and life mission of each individual. While the role of citizenship invites society to play an active role through participation in thought processes, dialogue and political action in order to achieve progress and improvement by realizing the role of political obligations and rights. The constitution from the perspective of Islamic law, written by Harun in the SUHUF Journal, writes that in Islamic constitutional law (Fiqh Siyasah), the constitution is called dusturi (derived from Persian). Originally it meant someone who had authority, both in the political and religious fields. In its development, this word was used to denote members of the Zoroastrian (Majusi) priesthood (Yusna, 2022). After experiencing absorption into Arabic, the word dustur developed its meaning into principle, basis or guidance (Arlis & Yuherlis, 2022). According to the term, dustur means a collection of rules that regulate the basis and cooperative relations between fellow members of society in a country, both unwritten 29Constitution in the Perspective of Islamic Law (Harun) (convention) and written (constitution).
Islam and the constitution comparative analysis between the text of the Koran and article 29 of the 1945 Constitution, written by Raman Mantu, in the Al-Syir'ah Scientific Journal, explains that through the constitution of the 1945 Constitution it is very clear that the State must play a role in the life of religion and its people, p. It revolves around two important points: First, the preventive role in ensuring that relations between people of different religions and beliefs remain in harmony, and do not fall into horizontal conflict that can destroy the unity of the nation and state. Second, the promotive role of implementing and advancing universal noble values favored by adherents of their respective religions. From the perspective of religions, the State as a secular-worldly institution will gain spiritual meaning, strengthen its existence and be defended by all religious communities (Bourdeaux, 2022).
In the history of the position of Islamic law in Indonesian constitutions (State Administration System in Indonesia) written by Abdi Widjaja in the Al-Dakwah journal, he wrote that there are two phrases in constitutional law as a basis for declaring acceptance of the 1945 Constitution into force, namely persuasive source and authoritative source. Thus, the 1945 Constitution and the initial proclamation confirmed the 1945 Constitution as the constitutional basis for the Indonesian state government and this also ended the legal basis for the application of the reception theory. Apart from that, this also suggests that Islamic law applies to Indonesians who are Muslim, not because Islamic law is accepted by customary law as stated in the reception theory, but Islamic law applies because of the position of Islamic law itself. In the course of approximately fourteen years, from 22 June 1945 to 5 July 1959, a consensus was reached which was stated in the gentlemen's agreement. The Gentlemen's Agreement is an agreement between nationalist leaders and religious leaders. In the clause "obligation to implement Islamic law for its adherents, the legal position is a persuasive source, and whatever emerges from the BPKI sessions is part of the persuasive source of the 1945 Constitution. After the enactment of the Jakarta Charter in the Decree of the President of the Republic of Indonesia dated July 5 1959, Acceptance of Islamic Law has become an authoritative source in Indonesian constitutional law, not just a persuasive source (Sopyan et al., 2022).
This research aims to explore and understand the integration of Islamic values with political education, as well as its impact on character building and active participation in political and social life. In addition, this research aims to examine the effectiveness of Tadabbur Methodology and Thematic Interpretation in the context of Islamic constitutional political education. The contributions of this research include contributing to the theoretical understanding of the integration of Islamic values in political education, policy recommendations for improved implementation, practical guidance for educational institutions, development of educational methods, and community empowerment in understanding the concept of constitutional politics based on Islamic teachings. Thus, this research is expected to make a holistic contribution to the development of constitutional political education based on religious values, embracing formal, informal, and non-formal dimensions.
RESEARCH METHODS
This
research uses case study qualitative research. The method used in this research
is library research, namely by tracing data sources from various reading
materials, both primary and secondary, then analyzed using content analysis,
which is analytically descriptive. The research approach uses the interpretive
science method approach. The approach in this research is naturalistic. The
focus of research can be people, groups, programs, patterns of relationships,
or interactions, all of which are seen in a natural context. Thus, the
researcher, through the research experience, tries to construct a view of
Islamic constitutional political education.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Overview
of the Concept of Constitutional Political Education
From the literature review presented, the
concept of constitutional political education can be formulated which
describes:
1. Definition and limitations:
The concept of Constitutional Political

strength of Constitutionalism and being able to act constitutionally as a
statesman who is constitutive of the constitutional political civilization of
humanity and the world.
2. Base
Constitutional Political Education is based on
Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia which is
described in operational juridical terms in other legislation, especially those
related to education such as the National Education System and other policies
needed for student interactions in society, nation and state (Carnoy, 2016).
3. Function
Constitutional Political Education is a
subsystem of the National Education System to strive for a learning process and
learning atmosphere that is able to develop various potential students in the
political field with constitutional awareness of high integrity (Damayanti,
2020).
4. Objective
Constitutional Political Education is to form
Democratic and Responsible Citizens based on Constitutional Personality and
Integrity with a Comprehensive and Constitutive Constitutionalism mentality and

Constitutional Political Education has
strategic value in the development and sovereignty of the nation and state (Dewantara et
al., 2019). For this reason, the Constitutional Political Education Program
must involve various components and be implemented in all pathways, types and
levels of education. Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education
System, has regulated education categories with clear stages in the form of
paths, levels and types of education as regulated in the provisions of Article
13 - Article 32.
a.
Education
Path
The definition of an educational path according
to the provisions of Article 1 point 7 of Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the
National Education System is a vehicle through which students use the main
program to develop their potential in an educational process that is in
accordance with educational goals. The educational pathway consists of:
1. Formal education; is a structured and tiered
educational path consisting of primary education, secondary education and
higher education.
2. Non-formal education; is an educational pathway
outside of formal education that can be implemented in a structured and tiered
manner.
3. Informal education; is a family and
environmental education pathway.
b.
Educational
level
The Constitutional Politics Education Program
also needs to consider and adapt to the level of education. According to the
provisions of Article 1 point 8 of Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the
National Education System, Education Levels are stages of education that are
determined based on the level of development of students, the goals to be
achieved, and the abilities that are developed. This level of education starts

3. Higher education; is the level of education
after secondary education which includes diploma, bachelor's, master's,
specialist and doctoral education programs organized by universities.
c.
Type of
Education
Constitutional Political Education also needs
to be programmed within and according to the Type of Education, which according
to the provisions of Article 1 number 9 of Law Number 20 of 2003 concerning the
National Education System, is a group based on the specific educational
objectives of an educational unit. This type of education includes:

undergraduate and postgraduate program that is directed primarily at mastering
certain scientific disciplines.
4. Professional education; is higher education
after a bachelor's program that prepares students to have jobs with special
skill requirements.
5. Vocational education; is higher education that
prepares students to have jobs with certain applied skills that are equivalent
to a maximum of a bachelor's program.
6. Religious education; is basic, secondary and
higher education that prepares students to be able to carry out roles that
require mastery of knowledge about religious teachings and/or to become experts
in religious knowledge.
7. Special education; is the provision of
education for students with disabilities or students who have extraordinary
intelligence which is carried out inclusively or in the form of special education
units at the primary or secondary education level.
Program implementation of the pathways, levels
and types of education as mentioned above is through educational units
organized by the government, regional government and/or the community
face-to-face and/or remotely.

The division of levels of
thinking skills into low (Low Order Thinking Skills or abbreviated as
LOTS) and high (High Order Thinking Skills or abbreviated as HOTS) seems
to need to be reviewed critically. The thinking level of Remembering,
Understanding, and Applying knowledge domains, whether Factual, Conceptual,
Procedural, or Metacognitive, should not be positioned at a low level of
thinking skills, because these levels are actually more basic and fundamental.
Without these three cognitive thinking skills, the skills above them are;
Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating, will be difficult to achieve and realize.
Apart from psychologically, it will make a student who is considered to be at a
low level (LOTS) feel low and inferior, and on the other hand there is a
sociological impact such as friends or teachers who are feared to be belittling
them. Meanwhile, high diction (word choice) for thinking skills (HOTS) is no
less important in anticipating that someone positioned at this level will be
superior both psychologically and sociologically.
fundamental diction is offered to replace the term Low so
that it becomes Fundamental Order Thinking Skills (FOTS), and Developmental
diction for the term High so that it becomes Developmental Order
Thinking Skills (DOTS). Because cognitive thinking skills: Analyzing,
Evaluating, and Creating, are a development of the previous three cognitive
thinking skills. The two pyramid models below can then be proposed as
alternatives to Bloom's division of levels of cognitive thinking skills. The
pyramid model was chosen as a unity of levels that not only need each other,
but also determine each other and show a continuous process that must not stop
at one particular level. Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating cannot be achieved
and done without Remembering, Understanding, and Applying, and vice versa
thinking: Remembering, Understanding, and Applying, will not be perfect and
reach a better level and achieve targets when it is not followed up and
developed to the level of Analyzing thinking , Evaluate, and Create.
Figure 1 b. Bloom's Cognitive Domain Critical
Review Pyramid
Bloom's Taxonomy Domain Pyramid: Cognitive,
Affective and Psychomotor, also needs to be placed in a pyramid shape which
places the Affective Domain as the foundation for the formation and development
of the Cognitive Domain and Psychomotor Domain. Feelings and spirituality have
such a big and strong impact on thinking. Because emotions and beliefs provide
a strong ideology in inspiring and believing in things beyond the reach of the
senses. Meanwhile, thinking, even though its role is very large and broad,
experiences a narrowing of insight due to the limitations of the five senses in
reaching facts, especially abstract and transcendental ones. Likewise with the
Psychomotor Domain, which also greatly determines performance and assessment,
but is increasingly narrowed down and limited by physical abilities, including
the five senses.

Program
Like the National Education System,
Constitutional Political Education is also programmed and adapted to all
Pathways, Levels and Types of Education as stated and intended in the 2003
National Education System Law:
a.
Islamic
Perspective Constitutional Political Education in Formal Education Institutions
Organized
through a Citizenship Education (PKn)
curriculum-based learning program, which was developed in a more comprehensive
and integrated manner in accordance with the Formulation of the Concept of
Constitutional Political Education. This program is also implemented according
to education levels: Primary, Middle and Higher, as well as in various types of
education, especially in official education institutions.
b.
Constitutional
Political Education from an Islamic Perspective in Non-formal Education
Institutions
Through
extracurricular learning programs, by utilizing various student potential and a
conducive environment for achieving the goals of Constitutional Political
Education, such as Community Learning Activity Centers (PKBM) according to
educational level.
c.
Constitutional
Political Education from an Islamic Perspective in Informal Education
Institutions
With
socialization and learning programs that are adapted to the level and
educational, social and cultural background of the community. Like models:
1. MATRIQ (Majelis Tadabbur Interactive al-Qur'an), an Assembly organized by
an Islamic Education Foundation in Depok, West Java, by interactively involving
various participant components; male and female santri,
santri supervisors, teachers, parents of santri, various resource persons up to professors, a
community of men and women spread across various parts of Indonesia, because it
is carried out offline and online . From a 19-month journey with
intense study every morning from 05.30-07.30 from Monday to Friday except
holidays, a picture of the effectiveness of the Political Education program was
obtained, because in the Assembly's studies the material and values of politics
and the Islamic constitution based on Tadabbur al
were often presented. -Qur'an and As-Sunnah. The interaction of all the various
participants (congregation) of the Assembly shows real and factual interactions
in daily life so that it does not show any distance, gap or social strata
between the congregation, including the santri.
2. Socialization of the 4 Pillars, which was held
through the People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia (MPR
RI) program. Even though socialization is simpler than educational terminology,
so that the program's achievements emphasize more on the Factual and Conceptual
aspects of knowledge, it has not yet reached the Procedural knowledge and
Metacognitive aspects which focus on processes and strategies for forming
constitutional character in national and state life, but this model is quite
helpful reminded the participants of the Strategic Position of Pancasila, the
1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, the Republic of Indonesia, and Bhinneka Tuggal Ika (4 Pillars). Constitutional literacy is also acquired
on the sidelines of socialization activities.
Education Personnel (Tendik)
Educational Personnel to implement the Concept
of Constitutional Political Education also need to involve all Stakeholders ,
especially those related to all elements of education, such as; Teachers,
students, parents, management, employees, the community, religious leaders and
activists, academics and intellectuals, national figures and decision and
policy makers, both individuals (such as members of the legislature, executive
and judiciary), as well as related institutions (such as parties. political and
mass organizations).
The required characteristic of educational
human resources is awareness of being a democratic and responsible citizen
based on a comprehensive Islamic personality. Thus, before administering
Islamic Perspective Constitutional Political Education, they have the right and
obligation to receive and participate in an educational program first.
Environment
The Constitutional Political Education
Environment includes: educational institutions; in all pathways, levels and
types, learning centers and resources including digital ones, other learning
facilities and infrastructure such as media, decision and policy making centers
and institutions, such as the MPR RI through the 4 Pillar Socialization, the
Constitutional Court (MK RI) with the Center Pancasila and Constitution
education, academics, such as Jimly Asshiddiqi through the Constitution School, society; with
various learning activities such as MATRIQ, and others.
Cost
Costs for Constitutional Politics Education
come from the government (APBN and APBD), bearing in mind that the user most
interested in citizenship is the State with all its components, from the
participation of students' parents and the community, and other sources that
can be involved in achieving educational goals.
Tadabbur Methodology in the Theory of Constitutionalism of the Living Global
Constitution (The Global Living Constitution) from an Islamic
perspective
a. Tadabbur Methodology
Application Model in Surah al-Fatihah shows
the feasibility and reliability of Tadabbur as
a method for developing the epistemology of various sciences: Islamic, Natural
and Social based on Knowledge Domains: Factual, Conceptual, Procedural and
Metacognitive, such as absorbing the values and spirit of living
Constitutionalism, universal and global, as an important part in the
development of political science and constitutional law.
b. Tadabbur methodology
can be applied universally and globally to provide and inspire constitutional
solutions to various human and world problems, especially in managing the state
administration of a nation and state wherever and whenever they are located.
The Factual, Conceptual, Procedural and Metacognitive Knowledge Domains of the
Qur'an which combine, integrate and synergize words with a permanent dimension
(tsawabit), such as Human Rights and
Obligations, so that there is no need to change words, with facts with a
flexible dimension (mutaghayyirat), such as
natural and social environmental conditions, which can accept the dynamics of
development and change.
c. The Indonesian Constitution is based on
Pancasila with basic values: Godhead, as a philosophical and ideological basis,
Humanity, as a sociological and civilizational basis, Unity, as a juridical and
national basis, formation of regulations and legislation, Deliberation, as a
democratic basis and division of power, and Justice , as the basis for the
ideals and goals of the nation and state, affirms and confirms the universal
constitutional content in the Al-Qur'an, so that it can be proposed, not only
for Indonesia, but also as the Global Living Constitution which is being
awaited by nations and countries in the world.
d. The wisdom of writing and codifying the Mushhaf of the Qur'an, which does not follow the history
and chronology of its descent or the Sunnah, indicates that the Mushhaf was designed for daily reading at any time with a
Constitutionalism content that is truly alive and integrated as the spirit of
everyday life. This arrangement design inspires and represents the true meaning
of Living, not only requiring no changes such as amendments or
addendums. Every individual who interacts with him will receive guidance and
direction both in terms of rules (as a form of Constitutional Law) which have
legal and statutory implications, and ethics (as Constitutional Ethics) which
build moral and aesthetic beauty.
e. The construction of the contents of
Constitutionalism: Divinity, Humanity, Unity (Nationality), Deliberation (based
on Popularity, Wisdom, and Representation), and Justice, are contained and
arranged in an integrated manner in each Surah, whatever the topic and problem,
which is broken down on each page very easy to read, because it blends
with the spirit and rhythm of life of every reader. Various cognitive,
affective and psychomotor dimensions and domains are also involved in the
appreciation of the direct message of Allah 'Azza wa Jalla who is accompanying
and accompanying him, as if it were new and being revealed to him.

Implementation
of the Concept of Islamic Constitutional Political Education in Formal,
Non-formal and Informal Education
The
research results show a number of political problems in the field of
constitution and constitutionalism which lead to education. The formulation of
the Islamic Perspective Constitutional Education Concept as a result of
research should receive attention and be proposed as a scientific and
systematic solution. Formal, non-firm and informal educational institutions can
be used as the first and main domain in implementing the Concept Formulation,
with the following achievement plans:
1.
Output :
a.
Implementation
Format in Formal Education
Formal
education is a structured and tiered educational path consisting of basic
education, secondary education and higher education. The ideal format for
implementing the Constitutional Education Concept in formal educational
institutions is through national education policies and politics. One strategy
is through developing a more comprehensive curriculum, especially Civics
subjects, as depicted in the research results of the Formulation of the Concept
of Constitutional Education. If there is no political will, then through
the awareness of related educational institutions it can be included in the
local curriculum or extracurricular activities such as the Class Consultative
Council (MPK) or the activities of the Intra-School Student Organization
(OSIS), and the Student Executive Board (BEM).
b.
Implementation
Format in Non-formal Education
Non-formal
education is an educational path outside formal education that can be
implemented in a structured and tiered manner. The format for implementing the
Constitutional Political Education Concept in Non-formal Education Institutions
is also through the development of a Citizenship Education curriculum. The
implementation strategy also requires educational policies and politics by
policy makers, both legislative and executive.
c.
Implementation
Format in Informal Education
Informal
education is a family and environmental education route. The format for
implementing the Constitutional Political Education Concept in informal
institutions such as families, ta'lim assemblies,
community communities, youth organizations, etc. is through socialization and
provision of stakeholders in them such as lecturers, trainers, and motivators,
and community leaders. Socialization of the 4 (four) Pillars: Pancasila, the
1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, the Republic of Indonesia, and Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, which are
the agenda and program of the MPR-RI is a strategic implementation model. It is
only necessary to develop content that is more comprehensive and integrated
with various other sources with epistemology and methodology as formulated in
the research results. MATRIQ (Al-Qur'an Interactive Tadabbur
Assembly) can also be used as a model for more effective implementation of
learning the Concept of Constitutional Political Education, in addition to
being carried out intensively every Monday to Friday with a duration of 1-1.5
hours in the morning, as well as implementation Tadabbur
methodology is interactive with a more comprehensive epistemology.
2.
Outcomes
:
Meanwhile,
the value and quality of human resources expected through the implementation of
the Constitutional Education Concept, especially the Islamic Perspective, are
the following human resources:
a.
Students
Have and Master Islamic Political Understanding, Mentality and Behavior from a
Constitutional Perspective with strong and creative Constitutionalism
b.
Democratic
and responsible citizens (sovereign and dignified)
c.
Society
of Politicians, Practitioners and Political Leaders who are educated and have a
constitutional perspective
d.
A nation
with constitutional character and life from an Islamic perspective.
e.
A
Sovereign Constitutional State based on Democratic and Responsible Citizens
CONCLUSION
Research
on constitutional political education from an Islamic perspective concludes
that this education aims to influence individuals to gain information, insight
and political skills, encouraging critical, focused and civilized attitudes.
Political education must be continuous to form awareness of the role of humans
and citizenship. This concept involves understanding the philosophy of science,
such as metaphysics, epistemology, ontology, and axiology, as well as using
Bloom's Taxonomy approach to analyze political orientation. The Tadabbur Methodology and Thematic Interpretation are
proposed as a Living Constitution to build constitutionalism and constitutional
awareness for the sake of Democratic and Responsible Citizens. This concept can
be implemented in formal, informal and non-formal education for understanding
by all parties, including educators and students.
