IMPLEMENTATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CURRICULUM IN SCHOOLS: ANALYSIS OF PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS BASED ON LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Islamic Education (PAI) curriculum development in schools, identify the challenges encountered, and formulate strategic solutions through a literature review approach. This research employs a library research method by examining various scholarly sources such as journal articles, books, research reports, and educational policy documents related to the implementation of the PAI curriculum, the 2013 Curriculum, and the Merdeka Curriculum. The findings reveal that the implementation of the PAI curriculum involves several stages, including planning, instructional material development, classroom implementation, and continuous evaluation. However, its application in schools faces several obstacles, such as limited teacher competence, inadequate facilities, resistance to curriculum changes, lack of contextual relevance, and insufficient parental support. This study concludes that strengthening the implementation of the PAI curriculum requires comprehensive strategies, including improving teacher competencies, enhancing educational facilities, contextual curriculum adaptation, teacher involvement in curriculum development, and strengthening collaboration between schools and families. The study is expected to serve as a reference for educators and policymakers in improving the effectiveness of PAI curriculum implementation in schools.
