Abstract

The objective of this qualitative study is to focus on the role
played by the Wasatiyyah concept in Indonesian Education via the
exploratory content analysis method. For this purpose, the study
analyzed the Tasawuf approach, the Islamic mysticism. As a result the
educational institutions included such principles like good (khayr) and
bad (fasad) or just and moderation as part of the Indonesian curricula.
In conclusion, it can be concluded that the Wasatiyyah concept applied
in the Indonesian education is in tandem with the Tasawuf approach
considered as the main element of Islamic epistemology.
