Pencegahan Intoleransi Kehidupan Beragama di Kalangan Umat Islam Melalui Praktik Pendidikan Muhammadiyah

Abstract

This study aims to discuss the practice of education in Muhammadiyah schools, in fostering a tolerant attitude as a form of prevention against the emergence of internal conflicts among Muslims. This research uses qualitative methods with a case study approach. The location of the study was in Purwokerto, Central Java, by taking a case at SMA Muhammadiyah 1. There were 22 research informants consisting of students, teachers, school management, parents, alumni, and foundation administrators. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data is analyzed with an interactive analysis model whose process includes data reduction, data presentation, and verification/conclusion. The results showed that in the midst of high expectations of Indonesian society for Islamic faith-based schools as "workshops" that can improve the morale of students, SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Purwokerto runs its educational process by implementing a curriculum that provides more portions and duration of time for religious subjects. Through the curriculum and interactions in daily life between students with different school of thought affiliations, the practice of religious education contributes to fostering tolerant values and attitudes. The growth of tolerance is also an effort to prevent intolerance in religious life among Muslims.
