Akulturasi Budaya Madura dalam Konteks Keagamaan Berbasis Sistem Islamic Education

Abstract

This research discusses the phenomenon of Madurese cultural acculturation in a religious
context based on the Islamic education system. Madura, as a region with unique cultural
richness, faces challenges in integrating its local values with Islamic teachings. This research
aims to explore how the Madurese cultural acculturation process occurs within the
framework of Islamic education, as well as its impact on the religious and social identity of
the Madurese community. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. Data was collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and
document analysis. The research results show that the acculturation process of Madurese
culture in a religious context tends to produce a unique synergy between local traditions and
Islamic values. This is reflected in the development of curricula, teaching methods and
religious practices that accommodate Madurese cultural values without sacrificing Islamic
principles. The impact of this acculturation can be felt in a deeper understanding of local
Islam which is closely related to Madurese local wisdom. However, challenges such as value
conflicts and resistance to change remain important factors that need to be overcome in
implementing this acculturation. In conclusion, Madurese cultural acculturation in the
context of Islamic education is a dynamic process that requires an inclusive and sensitive
approach to the cultural and religious identity of the Madurese people to achieve a
harmonious balance between local traditions and Islamic teachings
