Internalisation of Philanthropic Values in Islamic Education

Abstract

Indonesia is the country with the largest Muslim population in the world. Despite being a Muslim country, the social issues it faces remain complex, including social inequality. Although economic problems and the phenomenon of poverty among the Indonesian population remain complex, the potential of the existing community still holds great hope for contributing to addressing social inequality through community roles, particularly the middle class and other educated segments of society, through Islamic philanthropic movements. This study aims to describe the internalisation of Islamic philanthropic values at SMK Muhammadiyah Kajen and SMK Ma'arif NU Kajen, compare the internalisation of Islamic philanthropic values.. This study employs a qualitative approach with a field research design, using a case study methodology. Data sources were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data validity techniques used source triangulation and time triangulation. The results of the study indicate that the internalisation of Islamic philanthropic values in both schools occurs through three stages: value transformation, value transaction, and value transinternalisation. In the value transformation stage, both schools utilise Islamic Religious Education subjects in the classroom. In the value transaction stage, the development of teaching methods emphasises two-way interaction. In the value transinternalisation stage, both schools have distinctive characteristics through religious and social spiritual programmes developed in accordance with each school's vision and mission. Both schools share similarities in terms of vision and character development. However, differences exist in educational philosophy, curriculum, school programmes, and educational objectives. The impacts felt by students are divided into two categories: spiritual and social.
