Implementation Strategy of Non-Formal Education in Majelis Taklim in Improving the Quality of Learning: Integration of Religious and General Education

Abstract

This article discusses the implementation strategy of non-formal education in Majelis Taklim in improving the quality of learning through the integration of religious and general education. Majelis Taklim as a non-formal education centre, has an important role in developing the spiritual and intellectual aspects of the congregation. The integration of religious and general education in the Majelis Taklim curriculum aims to create learning that is more comprehensive and relevant to daily life. The strategies proposed and discussed in this article include: 1) Development of an integrated curriculum by incorporating religious teachings with general knowledge, 2) Collaboration with other communities and institutions to increase the understanding of the congregation's needs and problems, 3) Provision of extracurricular activities that can develop themselves and hone skills and build togetherness, 4) Application of active learning methods such as group discussions and simulations, as well as the use of educational technology. By applying these strategies, Majelis Taklim is expected to improve the quality of learning, provide relevant knowledge, and equip the congregation with practical skills that are useful in everyday life and able to answer the challenges of globalisation.
