Epistemological Studies; Development of Innovative Madrasah Based on Edutourism

Abstract

This research is entitled "Epistemological Study; Development of Innovative Madrasah Based on Edutourism". Islamic epistemology involves a deep understanding of the valid sources of knowledge in Islam, including the Koran, Prophetic Hadith, ijma, and qiyas. This concept forms the philosophical basis of how knowledge is discovered, taught, and applied in religious contexts. The research uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method. Developing innovative education-based madrasas is important in providing relevant and meaningful Islamic education. By integrating Islamic values in educational tourism programs, madrasas can provide students with in-depth learning experiences in understanding religious values and Islamic history. In this context, edutourism is not just traveling, but also a learning experience that allows students to develop a deeper understanding of the world and religious teachings. Thus, innovative edutourism-based madrasas, which are supported by an understanding of Islamic epistemology, become a strong foundation for forming Islamic education that is holistic and relevant for the future.
