Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the strategy of modernizing Islamic religious education in madrasas to integrate religious knowledge and science, identify its implementation challenges, and examine its impact on students. Using a qualitative approach with a case study at MAN Palopo, the study involved principals, teachers, education personnel, madrasa committees, and grade XI IPA students. The results indicated that modernization was achieved by integrating Islamic and science curricula, project-based learning (PjBL) methods, and contextual approaches. The main challenges included limited interdisciplinary human resources, minimal technological infrastructure, educators and community resistance, and a lack of supporting regulations. This modernization positively impacted improving students’ scientific understanding, critical thinking, academic achievement, and religious awareness. The study recommended interdisciplinary training for teachers, technological infrastructure development, and flexibility of integration-based curricula. The implications of this research highlight that the modernization of Islamic religious education can serve as a model for other madrasas, encouraging policymakers to design more supportive regulations and enabling schools to balance faith-based values with scientific literacy in preparing students for global challenges.

Abstract

Implementing the Independent Curriculum is increasingly urgent in efforts to improve the quality of education that is more flexible, relevant, and adaptive to students' needs. However, problems are still related to the effective implementation of the independent curriculum in educational institutions, especially at the Islamic-based madrasa level. The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation strategy of the Independent Curriculum at MAN Palopo, as well as to identify the challenges faced and opportunities that can be optimized. Using a qualitative method with a case study type, this study found several main strategies, such as classroom adjustments, digital skills development through technology, interest-based learning, and intensive teacher training. The main findings show that MAN Palopo has demonstrated a high commitment to implementing the Independent Curriculum, including integrating technology and project-based learning, but faces limited facilities, time management, and teacher training that still needs improvement. The implications of this study include the need to improve facilities and infrastructure, fulfil the need for technological devices, ongoing training for teachers, and more efficient time management to ensure that the implementation of the Independent Curriculum runs optimally and sustainably.
