Inclusive Approach in Islamic Education Guidance and Counseling in Senior High Schools

Abstract

Inclusive Education is an approach that aims to provide equal educational opportunities for all students, including those with special needs. At the high school level, this approach is important for developing leadership skills and preparing students for a diverse workforce. In the context of Islamic education, an inclusive approach not only emphasizes religious learning, but also instills character and moral values, creates an environment that respects differences and strengthens students' Islamic identity. This study aims to explore the application of an inclusive approach in guidance and counseling in Islamic education-based high schools, in order to help students adapt in a pluralistic society. The research method used is a qualitative case study design approach, with data collection through interviews, observations, and literature analysis. The Data Analysis Technique used refers to the data analysis model developed by Miles and Huberman. It is hoped that this approach can form a young generation that is religious, has noble character, and has high social sensitivity to diversity. The results of the study show that the implementation of inclusive BK still faces obstacles, such as the diverse understanding of BK teachers, limited training, and minimal supporting policies. However, some teachers have applied Islamic values informally in BK. Strengthening group approaches and religious mentoring programs has the potential to increase the effectiveness of inclusive BK services.
