Peningkatan Mutu Pendidikan Muhammadiyah melalui Implementasi Kurikulum ISMUBA dan Profesionalisme Guru

Abstract

This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics, challenges,
and strategic efforts to improve the quality of Muhammadiyah education in the current era of
disruption. The analysis focuses on a critical review of the implementation of the Al-Islam,
Kemuhammadiyahan, and Arabic Language Curriculum (ISMUBA) as well as the factors shaping
teacher professionalism. Since its establishment in 1912, Muhammadiyah has served as both an
Islamic movement and an educational institution committed to reforming Islamic education in
Indonesia by integrating religious knowledge with modern scientific disciplines, thereby cultivating
ulama-intellectuals and intellectual-ulama. The study employs a qualitative literature review design by
analyzing 20 PDF documents, consisting of official Muhammadiyah publications and peer
reviewed journal articles. The analysis is further reinforced through descriptive correlational
techniques to examine teacher professionalism data and is synthesized using the Miles and
Huberman interactive model. The findings indicate that teaching experience has a positive and
statistically significant effect on teacher professionalism, whereas educational attainment and
training programs have yet to demonstrate significant influence. Revitalization strategies identified
in this study include strengthening institutional networks, advancing global expansion, developing
technology-driven educational programs (such as Muhammadiyah Online University), and
revitalizing ISMUBA/AIK as a foundation for ideological strengthening and cadre development.
In conclusion, the study argues that Muhammadiyah education possesses substantial potential to
excel in the disruptive era, provided that the organization’s reformist spirit (tajdid) is holistically
integrated into curriculum development, learning methodologies, and teacher professionalism
enhancement efforts.

ABSTRAK. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis secara komprehensif dinamika, tantangan,
dan strategi peningkatan mutu pendidikan Muhammadiyah, terutama di era disrupsi, melalui telaah kritis terhadap implementasi Kurikulum Al-Islam, Kemuhammadiyahan, dan Bahasa Arab
(ISMUBA) serta faktor profesionalisme guru. Muhammadiyah, sebagai gerakan Islam dan
pendidikan sejak 1912, secara historis hadir sebagai upaya pembaharuan pendidikan Islam di
Indonesia, mengintegrasikan ilmu agama dan ilmu umum untuk mencetak ulama-intelektual atau
intelektual-ulama. Kajian ini menerapkan metode studi pustaka kualitatif dengan menganalisis 20
dokumen PDF, meliputi dokumen resmi Muhammadiyah dan jurnal ilmiah. Analisis diperkuat
dengan teknik deskriptif korelasional untuk menguji data profesionalisme guru, dan disintesis
menggunakan model Miles dan Huberman. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa pengalaman mengajar
memiliki pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap profesionalisme guru, sementara jenjang
pendidikan dan pelatihan belum menunjukkan pengaruh signifikan. Strategi revitalisasi mencakup
penguatan jaringan, ekspansi global, pengembangan program berbasis teknologi (seperti
Muhammadiyah Online University), dan revitalisasi ISMUBA/AIK untuk menguatkan ideologi dan
kaderisasi. Kesimpulannya, pendidikan Muhammadiyah berpotensi unggul di era disrupsi jika
komitmen terhadap pembaharuan (tajdid) diterapkan secara holistik pada kurikulum, metode
pembelajaran, dan profesionalisme guru.
