kurang berdampak pada perubahan sosial. Padahal, masa awal Islam, Nabi Muhammad Saw. memosisikan shalat berjamaah sebagai kunci mobilitas sosial untuk membangun kekuatan ekonomi dan politik. Banyak lembaga pendidikan (dan keagamaan) dewasa ini memprogramkan penguatan pendidikan karakter melalui shalat berjamaah yang disinergikan dengan gerakan kepedulian sosial atau pemberdayaan ekonomi. Ditinjau dari sosiologi pendidikan, shalat berjamaah berfungsi sebagai pembinaan anggota masyarakat dalam menyintas problem kehidupan, seperti krisis ekonomi, penyimpangan norma sosial dan nilai budaya, hingga ancaman keamanan dan instabilitas politik. Shalat berjamaah pun penting untuk dikelola berbasis kebutuhan sosial. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif yang berfokus pada kajian literatur dan analisis isi teks, penulis menemukan bahwa ritual shalat berjamaah mencerminkan nilai-nilai pendidikan sosial. Penulis menyimpulkan, ritual shalat berjamaah yang dikemas dalam program kajian keagamaan atau kecakapan hidup (life skills) dapat meningkatkan 8 (delapan) sikap berkarakter sosial, yaitu: saling mengasihi (tarāhum), menjaga silaturahmi (shilarrahim), kepedulian (ihtimām), kedamaian (salām), toleransi (tasāmuh), persaudaraan (ukhuwwah), tolong-menolong (ta‘āwun), dan menanggung beban (takāful). Inilah inti sari pesan QS al-Ankabut: 45 bahwa shalat dapat mencegah perbuatan keji dan mungkar, atau berdampak pada perubahan sosial.

Abstract
This article provides an overview of the history of curriculum reform in Indonesia, the current state of the curriculum, the process of curriculum reform, and the challenges and implications of implementing the new Curriculum. The article argues that curriculum reform is crucial for Indonesia's education system to meet the needs of its students and prepare them for the challenges of the 21st century.
The Indonesian education system has been facing several challenges, particularly in the area of curriculum. One of the main issues is the lack of alignment between the curriculum and the needs of the workforce, resulting in a mismatch between the skills taught in schools and those required by the labor market. Moreover, the education system has been criticized for its heavy emphasis on rote learning and memorization, which has been seen as a barrier to the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students.
To address these challenges and improve the quality of education in Indonesia, there have been multiple attempts to reform the curriculum over the years. The most recent curriculum reform, the 2013 Curriculum, aims to improve the relevance of the curriculum to the needs of the workforce, promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and equip students with the skills required for the 21st century.
However, the implementation of the new Curriculum has faced several challenges, including inadequate teacher training, lack of resources, and resistance from stakeholders. The article concludes by highlighting the need for continued efforts to ensure the successful implementation of the new Curriculum and maximize its potential impact on the quality of education in Indonesia.

pertinent research articles and scholarly publications. The results show the importance of English language instruction in schools and the widespread use of the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach because of its efficiency in the teaching and learning process. The CLT method helps students improve their communication abilities by inspiring them to see English as a useful instrument for efficient conversation. The communicative approach, or communative language teaching (CLT), involves teaching language through communication. This type of language instruction positions communication as both a purpose and a means of learning English. The improvement of students' communication and interpersonal skills is a priority in communicative language instruction. Through contact between students and between students and teachers, it is made sure that students are capable of speaking clearly and confidently in real-life circumstances. CLT fundamentally seeks to have pupils learn a new language by having them to interact with others in that language.
