DELIVERING ISLAMIC STUDIES AND TEACHING DIVERSITY IN SOUTHERN THAI ISLAMIC SCHOOLS
Teaching religious and cultural diversities would possibly be one of the greatest
challenges to teachers of Islamic in Southern Thai Islamic schools due to the
strong Islamic ideology they hold, lack of proper training for their professional
growth, and the ongoing ethno-political conflict in the area. This paper explores
how such a challenge has been faced. It particularly describes the teaching process
of Islamic studies in Thai Islamic schools and explores opportunities within
it for promoting religious and cultural diversities. We also look into possible
opportunities for Islamic teachers to teach and students to learn about the
diverse reality of society. We found that the deliveries of Islamic fell squarely
within the concept of teaching into religion using a heavy confessional approach.
Indoctrination with a little encouragement of critical thinking was common in
Islamic classes. The presentation of other faiths and cultures was designed to explore their weaknesses and fallacies from a single believed-Islamic perspective.
[Pengajaran keragaman budaya dan agama merupakan sebuah tantangan
besar bagi guru pendidikan keislaman pada sekolah di Thailand Selatan,
seiring dengan pemahaman keislaman mereka yang kuat, kesenjangan tingkat
perkembangan profesionalitas, dan konflik politik etnik di daerah tersebut.
Tulisan ini mengetengahkan persoalan yang mereka hadapi, khususnya
deskripsi proses pengajaran studi keislaman di sekolah Islam lokal dan
peluang dalam promosi keragaman budaya dan agama. Tulisan ini juga
melihat kemungkinan peluang bagi guru agama Islam dan anak didiknya
untuk saling belajar dari realitas keragaman dalam masyarakat. Kami
menemukan bahwa menyampaikan pengetahuan keislaman harus tepat
dengan konsep pengajaran bagi pemeluk agamanya menggunakan pendekatan
keyakinan yang lurus. Indoktrinasi dengan sedikit dorongan pemikiran kritis
merupakan kewajaran dalam kelas agama. Presentasi agama dan budaya
lain didesain untuk eksplorasi kekurangan dan kesalahan dari perspektif
yang monolitik
