The Influence of Globalization on the Innovation of Islamic Education Curriculum

Abstract

This research examines the impact of globalization on innovation in Islamic education curricula, focusing on how global phenomena trigger changes and adaptations in curriculum structure and substance. The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact of globalization on the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of Islamic education curricula in various contexts, and to identify innovation strategies that emerge in response. The research method used is a systematic literature review, analyzing various academic journals, books, and research reports related to globalization, curriculum innovation, and Islamic education from 2010 to 2024. Data was collected through electronic databases and critically examined for relevance. The results indicate that globalization drives innovation in Islamic education curricula through three main channels: increased demand for global competencies, adoption of information and communication technology in learning, and diversification of knowledge sources. The implications of this research highlight the urgency for Islamic educational institutions to proactively integrate global perspectives and technology into curriculum design, while maintaining core Islamic values. This is crucial for preparing students to face the challenges and opportunities in the global era.
