KONSEP PENDIDIKAN HUMANIS PAULO FREIRE DALAM PERSFEKTIF PENDIDIKAN ISLAM

Abstract

Humanistic education teaches how learners, as humans, can critically understand the learning process based on the philosophical framework of their life's purpose as humans, as emphasized by Paulo Freire. This research aims to explore the concept of humanistic education according to Paulo Freire and how Paulo Freire's humanistic education fits into the perspective of Islamic education. Utilizing a library research methodology, this study requires a substantial amount of documents such as books, articles, journals, and other relevant materials. The data sources comprise primary data (fundamental data) and secondary data (supporting data). The method of analysis employed in this research is qualitative analysis. The findings reveal that Paulo Freire's humanistic education shares similarities with the concept of Islamic education, specifically in viewing education as a vessel to unleash the potential of learners toward liberation. Both humanistic education and Islamic education emphasize humanization and liberation as the focus of education, treating learners and educators as subjects in the teaching-learning process. However, the distinction lies in the broader scope of Islamic education due to its ability to integrate religious and general knowledge
