Challenges and competition come from internal and external institutions. Building a good perspective for (Brand image) users of institutions is one of the inevitability in building and introducing transformative Islamic educational institutions to the community in order to increase the competitiveness of Islamic Education Institutions. Through descriptive qualitative research supported by data from the field at MI al Qodir Wage Taman Sidoarjo, it was obtained that efforts to build a brand image of transformative Islamic educational institutions can be done through; 1) Market Identification 2) Segmentation and Positioning, 3) Differentiation of Education Services, and 4) Services of Transformative Islamic Education Institutions. Meanwhile, to build a brand image, this Islamic educational institution implements the theory of the marketing mix known as the 7P formula, namely; Product, Price, Place, Promotion, People, Physichal Evendnce, and Process. Furthermore, to maximize the positive impact of brnad image, institutions need to pay attention to supporting factors, including; a) Product Attributes or values that accompany the product, and b) Consumer Benefits of excellence or benefits obtained by consumers.","PeriodicalId":371171,"journal":{"name":"COMPETITIVE: Journal of Education","volume":"12 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140434586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis reveals that the curriculum merdeka changes can pose challenges in curriculum development and organization for teachers and schools. There is also a potential gap between schools in implementing the curriculum merdeka. Additionally, the readiness and adequate support for teachers are crucial factors in the success of the curriculum merdeka.

The study utilizes a literature review method to analyze relevant sources and gain a deeper understanding of the issues faced by teachers. The findings reveal several key challenges. Firstly, curriculum adaptation poses a major challenge, as it requires teachers to integrate Islamic teachings with the principles and demands of the Kurikulum Merdeka. Secondly, project-based learning within the curriculum demands additional effort from teachers in designing and managing active student involvement. Thirdly, holistic evaluation becomes complex for teachers as it involves assessing skills, attitudes, and religious knowledge. Additionally, resource limitations such as appropriate textbooks and learning materials aligned with the Kurikulum Merdeka hinder effective implementation. Insufficient training and support for teachers also influence the success of curriculum implementation. Recommendations include enhancing support and training for teachers, improving the availability of textbooks and learning resources, and fostering collaboration among teachers, schools, and communities to strengthen the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka.","PeriodicalId":371171,"journal":{"name":"COMPETITIVE: Journal of Education","volume":"23 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140458601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some students claim to be bored with tasks that are only theoretical. To face the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era, students must be equipped with higher-order thinking skills. One of the HOTS-oriented learning models and suggested in the implementation of the 2013 Curriculum is the Discovery Learning learning model. Discovery learning is a learning process that occurs when students are not presented with information directly but students are required to organize their understanding of that information independently. After carrying out the mathematics learning model of Discovery Learning, the authors found that the learning processes and results of students increased. Better than previous studies.

It presents a theoretical framework for transformative education, which is grounded in critical reflection, dialogue, and action. By fostering critical consciousness, transformative education enables students to challenge the systemic issues that perpetuate inequality and injustice. Drawing on examples from different educational contexts, this paper highlights the importance of adopting a transformative approach to education in order to create meaningful change in individuals and communities. Ultimately, it argues that transformative education can serve as a powerful tool for promoting equity, inclusion, and social justice in society. This study would base on a literature review of the existing research on transformative education and its relationship with social justice. The literature review draws on various academic databases, including research works, papers, articles, books, and reports published in several journals. The paper adopts a qualitative approach to analyze and synthesize the literature on transformative education and uses thematic analysis to identify key themes and concepts. The findings are presented in a narrative format and related illustration in the topic’s case study which is organized around the theoretical framework of transformative education.
