TEORI PEMBELAJARAN DALAM PERSPEKTIF SYED MUHAMMAD NAQUIB AL-ATTAS: KONSEP TA’DIB SEBAGAI LANDASAN PENDIDIKAN ISLAM

Abstract

Modern Islamic education faces the challenge of a moral and ethical crisis (adab), thereby requiring a theoretical foundation capable of integrating knowledge, ethics, and character formation among learners. This study aims to analyze learning theory from the perspective of Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas through the concept of ta’dib as the foundation of Islamic education. The research employed a library research method using a descriptive-qualitative approach by examining various scholarly journals and literature related to the concepts of ta’dib, tarbiyah, and ta’lim in Islamic education. The findings reveal that the concept of ta’dib, according to al-Attas, positions education as a process of instilling adab encompassing intellectual, spiritual, moral, and social development in a balanced manner. This concept is not merely oriented toward the transfer of knowledge but also toward the formation of civilized individuals (insan adabi) who are able to place things according to their proper nature and position. The study also demonstrates that the implementation of ta’dib remains relevant to contemporary education, particularly in strengthening character education, digital ethics, and value-based learning. Therefore, the concept of ta’dib serves as an essential foundation for developing a holistic, humanistic Islamic educational system oriented toward the cultivation of noble character.
