Pengaruh Otoritas Keagamaan di Sekolah Islam Terpadu
This study aims to show the tendency of urban Muslim communities in the city of Medan in choosing primary schools for children. The number of Islamic schools in Medan City continues to grow. The type of Islamic education that is developing is the Integrated Islamic School (SIT). SIT emerged as a response to the urban Muslim community. Its presence fulfills the wishes of previous Islamic education institutions, such as Islamic boarding schools, madrasas and public schools. The focus of the study looks at the role of the SIT religious authority in shaping teaching so that SIT's ability to compete with schools and Madrasahs affiliated with the NU, Muhammadiyyah, Al-Washliyah, and Al-Ittihadiyah organizations in terms of both curriculum and managerial aspects. The research method used is qualitative naturalistic. The main finding of this research is that the religious authority formed from the learning process at SIT leads to certain groups and ideologies affiliated with the Tarbiyah group. Its religious development indicates that the taste for Islamic education in urban communities leads to SIT which has an integrated curriculum. The managerial system is more modern in use because it is integrated with the existence of quality management in the administrative system that combines the managerial systems of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Religion, which are not owned by madrasah or pesantren institutions. The SIT curriculum model is successful in responding to the sociological needs of the urban Muslim community between the needs of religious and general teaching which is also a place to 'entrust' children all day because SIT uses a fullday curriculum model system.
