The Dynamics of Ideal, Social, and Economic Changes of Madrasas in Indonesia

Abstract

As institutions, madrasas are faced with dynamic changes that occur locally, nationally, as well as internationally. Rapid changes encourage madrassas to be strongly adaptable to the dynamics of the times, sensitive to market demand, highly competitive, able to build public perceptions of Islamic educational institutions, and inclusive of current ideologies that involve many things. Such changes are interesting and trans-national. Therefore, this article discusses the dynamics of madrasa change from an ideal, social and economic perspective. This qualitative study provides an overview of models of dynamic changes in educational institutions in Indonesia. The current study is expected to contribute to conceptual thinking in order to formulate various policies and steps to accelerate the transformation of madrasas in the global era.
