Strategic Planning Based On Values: Integrating Religion, Philosophy, Psychology, And Sociology In Education

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of strategic planning for education based on religion, philosophy, psychology, and sociology in junior high schools (SMP) in Cirebon, Indonesia. The research approach used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews with principals, teachers, and education supervisors, direct observation of the implementation of education planning in schools, and literature studies related to educational theories. The results show that the integration of the disciplines of religion, philosophy, psychology and sociology in education strategic planning has a significant impact on the quality of education, both in terms of character development and students' social-emotional skills. Religious values are applied not only in religious subjects, but also in aspects of daily school life, creating a culture that prioritizes ethics and morals. The philosophy of education perspective strengthens the moral foundation of the curriculum, while the psychology approach plays a role in understanding and accommodating students' emotional and social needs. The sociology of education, on the other hand, helps schools understand the social and cultural contexts that influence students' development, both inside and outside the school. However, there are some challenges in implementing this strategic planning, such as limited resources, differences in understanding between stakeholders and the need for further training for teachers. Therefore, this study recommends the importance of improving teacher training, providing supportive facilities and strengthening collaboration between schools, parents and communities. Overall, the findings provide insights into how a multidisciplinary approach to education planning can improve the quality of learning and support students' all-round development, academically, socially and morally. This research also contributes to the development of educational theories that are more integrative and relevant to the evolving needs of the times.
