PRAGMATISME DALAM PENDIDIKAN ISLAM: TINJAUAN FILOSOFIS ATAS INTEGRASI TAUHID DAN KEWIRAUSAHAAN DI TK KHALIFAH

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the paradigm of entrepreneurship education at TK Khalifah Purwokerto using a qualitative approach and field research method. The analysis is grounded in the philosophy of pragmatism, which emphasizes the importance of concrete experience, independence, and meaningful learning processes. The findings reveal that entrepreneurship education at TK Khalifah is inspired by the exemplary conduct of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions as successful merchants and entrepreneurs. These values are contextually adapted into the curriculum through experiential learning, role playing, and enjoyable hands-on activities. The implemented learning model is designed holistically, encompassing the development of children's cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. Children are encouraged to recognize their potential, think creatively, make decisions, and foster responsibility and work ethic from an early age. A supportive and interactive learning environment further reinforces the formation of entrepreneurial character that is religious, independent, and rooted in integrity. Entrepreneurship education at TK Khalifah not only emphasizes economic and innovative skills but also the internalization of Islamic spiritual values as moral foundations in entrepreneurship. This study recommends Islamic value-based entrepreneurship education as an integrative and relevant alternative model for early childhood education.
