The education system proposed by Paulo Freire is an educational model that can liberate the verbal and mechanistic human culture. Such a culture, according to Freire, is impossible to lead people to a more authentic and more human life. To achieve this, descriptive educational habits are expected to be shifted towards transformative-dialogue education, so that education is not perceived as a shackling education. Education is expected to produce changes to students, both changes in the quality of thinking, personal quality, social quality, quality of independence and quality of society. That is the paradigm shift of Islamic education, that is changing the paradigm of authoritarian to democratic paradigm, closed to openness, doctrinaire to participatory. Society needs to civilize the tradition of criticism, dialogue, openness, the spirit of pluralism and practical practices that touch the problems of the weak and oppressed by anything politically, economically, socially and culturally. ملخص إن نظام التربية التي اقترحها باولو فريري هو نوع التربية التي تقدر على تحرير ثقافة البشر التي ترى شفهية وميكانيكية .هذه الثقافة لا يمكن أن تحمل الإنسان إلى الحياة الحقيقية والإنسانية في نظر فريري .ولتحقيق ذلك، ينبغي أن تحول عادات التربية الوصفية إلى التربية الحوارية التحويلية، حتى لا تكون التربية مقيدة .ويرجى أن تحقق التربية التغيير في الطالب، سواء كان في جودة التفكير والشخصية والاجتماعية والاكتفاء في الذات والتعايش مع المجتمع .والتغيير من النموذج الاستبدادي إلى النموذج الديموقراطي، من الإغلاقي إلى الانفتاحي، من التلقيني إلى الاشتراكي .يحتاج المجتمع إلى تعويد ثقافة النقد، والحوار، والانفتاح، ووعي التعدد والتطبيقات العملية التي تهتم بمشكلات الضعفاء والمضطهدين في كل شيء، سواء كان سياسيا، واقتصاديا، واجتماعيا وثقافيا. Sistem pendidikan yang ditawarkan oleh Paulo Freire adalah model pendidikan yang dapat membebaskan budaya manusia yang serba verbal dan mekanistik. Budaya semacam ini, di mata Freire, tidak mungkin mengantarkan manusia kepada kehidupan yang lebih otentik dan lebih manusiawi. Untuk mewujudkan hal tersebut, kebiasaan pendidikan deskriptif diharapkan digeser ke arah pendidikan dialogik-transformatif, agar pendidikan tidak dirasakan sebagai pendidikan yang membelenggu. Pendidikan diharapkan dapat menghasilkan perubahan terhadap siswa, baik perubahan dalam kualitas berfikir, kualitas pribadi, kualitas sosial, kualitas kemandiriannya dan kualitas kemasyarakatannya. Perubahan paradigma pendidikan Islam, yaitu merubah paradigma dari paradigma otoriter keparadigma demokratis, tertutup ke keterbukaan, doktriner kepartsiipatoris. Masyarakat perlu membudayakan tradisi kritik, dialog, keterbukaan, semangat pluralisme dan praktik-praktik praktis yang menyentuh permasalahan kaum lemah dan tertindas oleh apapun. Baik secara politik, ekonomi, sosial maupun budaya.
The underlying reason of the study is the importance of education in global era where parents demand that, to face the future, their children should both master science and technology and have strong religion base. To maintain trust from the society, madrasah must work hard. In the last few years, MIN 1 Kulon Progo, a madrasah (Islamic School) with the highest number of students in district Temon, has experienced a constant decrease in enrolments. The sudy shows that student parents of MIN 1 Kulon Progo expect that students 1) worship more diligently, 2) possess better moral and personality, 3) have various skills, 4) achieve better grade, and 5) reach both academic and nonacademic achievements.To respond parents’ expectation, Madrasah issues policies such as 1) improving the students’ worship quality, 2) mending their moralsand attitude, 3) strengthening the pupils’ skills, 4) setting higherachievements, 5) raising goals both academic and non academic. The policies prove to fulfil the needs although some parents think differently. It also brought further benefit to the school as more parents send their children to MIN 1 Kulon Progo in 2018/2019 school year. The school reached the target of new students (56), and it even had to refuse some candidates.
