THE IDEALISM DIALECTICS OF ISLAMIC HIGHER INSTITUTE IN THE WORKING SPACE PRAGMATISM’S VIEWPOINT IN EAST JAVA INDONESIA

Abstract

The State Islamic Religious College certainly has an idealism as an Educational Institution, but it must be dynamic when it clashes with the demands of the pragmatic working space. The curriculum as vital values ​​of the State Islamic Religious College turns out to be transformed towards its ideality when dealing with a working space. The existence of a Vocational Education system is a reality. However, the Islamic Economics and Business Faculty which is still not vocational has a dilemma in this dialectic. Hence, the Indonesian National Qualification Framework is a form of compromise between the demands of the regulation of the State Islamic Religious College, the vocational education system, and the demands of the working space. Dynamization remains the spirit of curriculum transformation. Due to some obstacles including campus academic regulations and bureaucracy, the transformation process is a long dialectic process between the campus academic community and with parties outside the campus including the world of work.
