Abstract

Model of Higher Education Development: A Study on the Existence and Challenge of PTAI and the Change of IAIN to UIN : The rationale behind change of the State Institute for Islamic Studies (IAIN) to the State Islamic University (UIN) is that Islam makes no discrimination between religious knowledge and general knowledge. The change of this status actually gives UIN a broader mandate compared to IAIN, that is, providing the community at large with the knowledge of Islam. This is in line with the new paradigm in higher education that has been formulated in national and international levels of education which, at the same time, studies the existence, opportunity and option being offered to develop itself to become a competitive higher education institution. UIN is in fact different from other general higher education institutions and even different from other Islamic higher education institutions. UIN should be able to relate its teaching materials to Islamic messages so that it is expected to produce Muslim scholars who possess two areas of knowledge, knowledge in science and technology and knowledge in the field of Islamic perspectives.

Highlights

Model of Higher Education Development: A Study on the Existence and Challenge of Perguruan Tinggi Agama Islam (PTAI) and the Change of IAIN to Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) : The rationale behind change of the State Institute for Islamic Studies (IAIN) to the State Islamic University (UIN) is that Islam makes no discrimination between religious knowledge and general knowledge
Krisis ini selain menimbulkan keprihatinan mendalam tentang meningkatnya drop out rate di kalangan mahasiswa, juga menyebabkan kemerosotan efektivitas dan efisiensi Perguruan Tinggi dalam menghasilkan mahasiswa dan lulusan yang memiliki competitive advantage atau daya 270
Harapan dengan lahirnya Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) adalah dalam kurikulum tidak ada lagi pemisahan antara ilmu umum dan ilmu agama, UIN harus mampu mengintegrasikan ajaran Islam ke dalam setiap mata kuliah yang menjadi lahan garapannya, UIN harus mampu mengaitkan setiap materi kuliahnya dengan ruh dan pesanpesan Islam, sehingga UIN diharapkan dapat mencetak sarjana muslim yang memiliki dua keunggulan, yakni keunggulan di bidang Sains dan Teknologi sekaligus keunggulan di bidang wawasan keislaman

Summary

Introduction

Sesuai dengan semangat paradigma baru Perguruan Tinggi, khususnya otonomisasi, saat ini terjadi kecenderungan visi pengembangan IAIN menjadi UIN (Universitas Islam Negeri). Dengan konsep seperti itu, paling tidak ada tiga jenis keilmuan paradigma integralistik yang berkemungkinan dikembangkan dan menjadi keunikan UIN, yaitu: Pertama, ilmu-ilmu agama.
