KONSEP DASAR PENDIDIKAN BERBASIS MASYARAKAT
Abstract: Democratization of
education can be actualized through, among others, the application of the
concept of community-based education. This article is philosophically aimed at
exploring the basic ideas and concepts implied in community-based education.
What is community-based education? Why does the concept need to be implemented
in educational management? The problem of community-based education is a new
subject of discourse appearing in the educational world and especially in
Indonesian society.
Community-based education is a system of education in which the community
makes a high proportion of decisions concerning education, starting from
matters of the input, process, and output through to the financing of
education. The concept of community-based education appears urgent to be
implemented for the sake of democratization of education. Community-based
education represents a political struggle for social transformation. Thus,
community-based education is part of an agenda of critical pedagogy which
attempts to liberate education from the shackles of political power. When
education has been liberated from the domination and hegemony of such power, it
means that democratization of education has been actualized.
