ABSTRAKTulisan ini bertujuan menggambarkan bahwa dalam menginterpresaikan ayat-ayat alQur"an yang berhubungan dengan pendidikan memiliki sejumlah konvensi/kaidah yang harus dipegang oleh peneliti pendidikan Islam. Konvensi/kaidah tersebut bisa bersifat metodologis dan teologis. Secara metodologis, upaya untuk menafsirkan ayat-ayat pendidikan yang terdapat dalam al-Qur"an berasal dari metode tafsir alQur"an. Secara umum, metode tafsir al-Qur"an tidak jauh berbeda dengan metode untuk menafsirkan teks/naskah pada umumnya. Hal yang paling membedakan adalah justru pada naskah itu sendiri yang berbentuk kitab suci. Oleh karena itu perlu ada pemahaman teologis tertentu ketika memperlakukan naskah kitab suci al Qur"an sebagai objek kajian/tafsir/penelitian. Al-Qur"an adalah firman Allah SWT yang berisi petunjuk bagi sekalian manusia. Sebagai firman Allah SWT, hanya Allah semata yang maha mengetahui semua maksud yang terkandung dalam setiap ayat alQur"an. Tetapi sebagai petunjuk, firman itu harus dipahami agar dapat diamalkan. Atas dasar itu, upaya untuk memahami al-Qur"an harus terus dilakukan, tidak terkecuali untuk memahami ayat-ayat al-Qur"an yang berkaitan dengan pendidikan. Ragam upaya tersebut, yang meliputi prinsip dasar, metode analisis dan metode penelitian terangkum dalam satu konsep yaitu landasan metodologis teologi pendidikan Islam. Kata kunci: Metodologi, Teologis, Pendidikan Islam ABSTRACT This paper aims to describe that there is a number of conventions/rules that must be considered by the researcher of Islamic education in interpreting the verses of the Qur'an related to education. The conventions/rules can be in the form of methodological and theological. Methodologically, an attempt to interpret the verses of education contained in the Qur'an comes from the Qur'an interpretation methods. In general, the method of interpretation of the Qur'an is not different from the method of interpreting the text/script in general. The most distinguishing thing is the text itself
