ULASAN SISTEMATIK: PROGRAM ULUL ALBAB DALAM SISTEM PENDIDIKAN DI MALAYSIA

Abstract

The Ulul Albab program comprises three main components namely quranic, encyclopedic and ijtihadik.The programme was first introduced through the Imtia zschools under the Terengganu Foundation with the aim of producing high quality human capital who can think and solve the problems according to the Al – quran. Nowadays this programme has become famous and a craze among parents.Thus, a systematic review was conducted to gather evidence from the latest empirical studies on the effective implementation of the ululalbab programmes in the Malaysian education system through journals, newspapers, theses, proceedings, conferences and web pages. A total of 12 articles that met the objectives and criteria of the study were identified. The findings show that the ululalbab programme is effective in nurturing students with both secular and religious knowledge. Collaboration between teachers, students, parents and other stakeholders is the key factor for the success of this programme. Students outcome is evident in their academic achievement based on the Malaysian Certificate Of Education school grade point average, the procurement of a third language and the ability to memorize up to 30 juzuk of Al-quran within five years of schooling. Students also possess numerous skills such as higher-order thinking skills, entrepreneurial skills, information technology and innovation in science skills which are in line with the demands of the 21st century.
