The Concept of "Meta" Education on Islamic Values Based on the Psychological Development of Cadet

Abstract

This study investigates the cultivation of meta-consciousness grounded in Islamic principles among Naval Academy cadets, who symbolize military virtues in society. It explores the integration of multicultural Islamic values into cadets and the subsequent internalization of these values in developing meta-consciousness. The research employed a qualitative approach focusing on phenomenological analysis. This qualitative research involves analyzing various textual and contextual sources. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with several parties associated with the Academy and through analysis of curriculum-related documents and educational programs. The collected data were thoroughly analyzed using data reduction, presentation, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The results of the data analysis were compared with findings from related studies to validate the conclusions. After the data processing, then the researchers made the conclusions. This study discerns two primary findings. Firstly, the academy perceives Islamic brotherhood as solidarity within a multicultural milieu, delineated by three fundamental principles: self-regulation, tolerance, and ukhūwah. The academy accentuates immersive experiences while upholding professionalism, ethics, and reverence for diversity, epitomizing its dedication to nurturing a holistic comprehension and implementing multicultural Islamic values among its cadets. Secondly, it embraces the instructional system design (ISD) framework to imbue "meta" Islamic tenets centered on individual mindset.
