Revitalization of Ibn Sina's Educational Thought In Indonesian Kuttab to Support Sustainable Development within the Framework of the SDGs

Purpose: This study aims to explore and adapt Ibn Sina’s educational concepts in the context of Kuttab Ibnu Abbas Surakarta, an Islamic educational institution striving to modernize its curriculum while preserving value-based Islamic education. By integrating classical principles with contemporary needs, this research seeks to enhance the quality of Islamic education in alignment with sustainable development goals (SDGs). Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework of this study is based on Ibn Sina’s educational philosophy, which emphasizes tarbiyah (holistic education), tazkiyah (purification of the soul), and ta’dib (internalization of ethics and manners). These concepts are examined in relation to their applicability in the modern Islamic education system, particularly in fostering a balanced approach between intellectual, moral, and spiritual development. Methods: This research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach, focusing on curriculum analysis and in-depth interviews with educators at Kuttab Ibnu Abbas Surakarta. The data is collected through observation, documentation, and interviews, then analyzed thematically to identify the relevance and challenges of implementing Ibn Sina’s educational thought in the institution. Results and Conclusion: The findings reveal that the principles of tarbiyah, tazkiyah, and ta’dib serve as a strong foundation for curriculum development that prioritizes not only academic excellence but also moral and spiritual integrity. The integration of these values into the modern Islamic education system enables students to develop a sense of integrity, social responsibility, and critical thinking skills. Moreover, this approach contributes to the realization of SDGs, particularly in promoting quality education (SDG 4) and fostering ethical leadership for sustainable societies (SDG 16). Implications: The implications of this research suggest that Islamic educational institutions can benefit from revitalizing classical educational thought to address contemporary challenges. Originality/value: The novelty of this study lies in its effort to bridge the gap between classical Islamic education and modern pedagogical practices by systematically integrating Ibn Sina’s principles into the Kuttab education model. This adaptation offers a sustainable framework for nurturing a generation that is both intellectually capable and spiritually conscious, ensuring the relevance of Islamic education in the modern era.
