Editorial Vol. 1, No. 2, 2008

Pendidikan Islam sebabaimana pendidikan pada umumnya senantiasa diwarnai oleh berbagai permasalahan yang tidak pernah habis-habisnya. Hal ini selain disebabkan karena adanya perubahan orientasi, perubahan dinamika masyarakat, dan tunturan kehidupan masyarakat yang harus dilayani dan direspon oleh dunia pendidikan, juga karena adanya perkembangan di bidang ilmu dan teknologi yang menuntut kecerdasan dan kreativitas para pengelola lembaga pendidikan itu sendiri.

Menghadapi permasalahan tersebut, para pemerhati dan pengamat pendidikan terinspirasi untuk menawarkan berbagai solusinya yang dianggap paling tepat untuk mengatasi persoalan tersebut. Solusi yang disampaikan terkadang menunjukkan hasil yang cemerlang dan membanggakan dan terkadang hanya terkesan berjalan di tempat atau bahkan menambah persoalan baru yang mengakibatkan beban pendidikan menjadi semakin berat.

Persoalan pendidikan yang sedang diangkat dalam el-TarbawI Jurnal Pendidikan Agama Islam kali ini adalah manajemen pendidikan yang berorientasi pada mutu pendidikan. Dalam hal ini, Taufiqurrahman mengetengahkan perlunya strategi peningkatan Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) pendidikan berkualitas bagi bangsa Indonesia dilanda krisis multidemensi dan dengan penerapan sistem broad based education dan hight based education agar mutu SDM semakin baik. Sedangkan Subandi, mempersyaratkan perlunya pengembangan model penilaian sekolah efektif secara terus menerus dilakukan penilaian dan perbaikan sendiri dan peningkatan efektivitas fungsi-fungsi pengelolaan sekolah agar menghasilkan lulusan pendidikan yang diharapkan.

Ahmad Darmadji menyarankan perlunya implementasi total quality managemant dalam dunia pendidikan. Karena hal itu, berdampak positif pada peningkatan mutu pendidikan dan harapan masyarakat, serta dukungan dari sejumlah pihak. Hal tersebut dibuktikan dalam hasil penelitiannya yang mengambil lokasi di MAN Model Yogyakarta. Beberapa pembahasan lain yang cukup menarik untuk dicermati adalah artikel Djuwarijah tentang manajemen kurikulum dalam pengembangan SDM yang menghasilkan lulusan berwawasan internasional dan Thoyib, membahas internasionalisasi pendidikan dan strategi pengembangan mutu Pendidikan Tinggi Agama Islam. Menurutnya, internalisasi Pendidikan Tinggi Agama Islam di Indonesia ke depan diperlukan pendekatan triple quality, yaitu quality planning, quality control, dan quality improvement. Muhammad Idrus dalam artikelnya menegaskan bahwa masyarakat dapat melakukan fungsi pengawasan terhadap kinerja sekolah dan bersama sekolah ikut menyusun rencana anggaran sekolah, bahkan dapat menentukan kebijakan yang akan diambil oleh sekolah.

Dari sejumlah artikel yang diturunkan pada edisi kali ini, dapat ditarik benang merah bahwa pendidikan yang memiliki kometmen pada mutu masukan, proses dan keluaran serta penilaian perbaikan secara terus menerus akan mampu bersaing, bertahan dan berkembang dengan mengikuti laju perkembangan jaman dan tuntutan masyarakat yang berubah.

Selamat membaca!
