Navigating Tradition and Standardization: A Case Study of Majlis Masyayikh’s Quality Assurance Framework in Traditional Pesantren
type: item
description: This study is motivated by the increasing demands for educational quality standardization, which have significant implications for traditional Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), particularly in the implementation of the quality assurance framework established by the Majlis Masyayikh. The study aims to analyze institutional preparedness, forms of cultural and structural responses, and the initial impact of implementing the quality framework on governance and instructional practices in traditional pesantren. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, utilizing in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using an interactive model consisting of data condensation, data display, and verification. The findings indicate that pesantren undertake gradual adaptation through the legitimization of kiai leadership, the establishment of quality assurance teams, administrative restructuring, and the integration of formal evaluation instruments without altering the substantive curriculum based on classical Islamic texts. The responses are adaptive-integrative, combining bureaucratic rationality with the collective ethics of pesantren. This study contributes to strengthening a conceptual model of institutional hybridity in Islamic education and offers practical implications for dialogical and contextual quality policy formulation.

Institutionalizing Quality Assurance in Traditional Islamic Education: The Strategic Role of Majelis Masyayikh in Indonesian Pesantren
type: item
description: The dualism between traditional pesantren education and national standards often marginalizes santri graduates in terms of vertical mobility access. This research aims to analyze the conceptual framework of quality assurance established by the Majelis Masyayikh (MM), the dynamics of its implementation at the grassroots level, and its implications for public recognition of graduates. Employing a qualitative-descriptive design with a policy analysis approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with MM members, pesantren leaders, and policymakers, as well as an analysis of regulatory documents. The results indicate that the MM framework has successfully integrated salafiyah epistemology into an accommodative-transformative quality assurance system. Despite emerging administrative and ideological challenges, the success of this policy highly depends on a participatory-cultural approach rather than hierarchical bureaucratic instructions. The impact of this research provides an empirical foundation for the government to design inclusive accreditation instruments, ensuring that the institutionalization of pesantren enhances the quality of santri human resources sustainably and fosters global competitiveness in the future without uprooting its authentic spiritual traditions.

Spiritual Resilience in the Digital Age: Implementing At-Tijaniyah Sufi Education for Gen Z Moral Development
type: item
description: This research is prompted by the moral degradation crisis and the mental vulnerability of Generation Z caused by massive digital disruption. The study aims to explore the implementation of moral education through the disciplines of Wirid Lazima and Wadhifa at the As-Syafiiyah At-Tijaniyah Islamic Boarding School (Pesantren) in Malang as an instrument for character building. Employing a qualitative method with a phenomenological case study approach, data were collected through participant observation and in-depth interviews, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model. The results indicate that the routine practices of the At-Tijaniyah Sufi Order successfully foster spiritual resilience and "Digital Ihsan," enabling students to independently exercise self-control against technological distractions through the consciousness of muraqaba (divine presence). The impact of this research offers a transformative "Digital Sufism" model for Islamic educational institutions in addressing post-truth challenges. The integration of classical Sufi traditions is proven effective in reconstructing digital ethics and emotional stability in the younger generation, shifting the perception of Sufism from an escapist teaching to a strategic solution for global morality problems in the 21st century.

Bridging Tradition and Innovation: Phenomenological Perspectives of Pesantren Educators on Pedagogical Strategies for Gen Alpha Learners
type: item
description: This research is motivated by the pedagogical disconnect between the rigid traditions of Kitab Kuning (classical Islamic texts) and the digital-based characteristics of Generation Alpha within the Pesantren (Islamic boarding school) environment. The study aims to explore teachers' experiences in transforming instructional strategies for classical literature (Turath) without compromising traditional sacredness. Utilizing a qualitative design with an interpretative phenomenological approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with Pesantren educators in a gadget-free setting. The findings reveal that teachers implement a "Methodological Syncretism" pattern, transforming themselves into "living multimedia" through analog visualization techniques and the minimalist use of technology (laptops/projectors) as cognitive bridges. The results indicate that prohibiting mobile phones actually triggers the emergence of "Adaptive-Traditional Pedagogy," effectively balancing textual authority with the interactive needs of students. This study contributes a new theoretical framework for the moderation of traditional Islamic education in the era of disruption, while offering practical solutions for Pesantren to maintain the relevance of the Turath curriculum for digital natives without losing institutional identity.

A Love Based Curriculum Model for Character Formation: A Development Study in a Pesantren Based Madrasah.
type: item
description: This study develops a conceptual model of a love-based curriculum for character formation in a pesantren-based madrasah. Using a qualitative case study at MTs Al-Khoirot Malang, data were gathered through observations, interviews, and document analysis to examine the roles of institutional policy, pedagogy, and school culture. The findings identify three key results. First, the Love-Based Curriculum Model comprises three dimensions: value foundation, pedagogical approach, and school culture. Core values include inclusive spirituality, intellectual curiosity as devotion, ecological awareness, empathy, social tolerance, and civic responsibility. Pedagogy is expressed through caring communication, dialogic learning, and experiential activities. School culture reinforces values through daily practices such as congregational prayer, respectful interaction, environmental care, and anti-bullying norms. Second, the curriculum shapes graduate profiles marked by spiritual integrity, humanism, ecological awareness, intellectual curiosity, and civic responsibility. Third, a love-based educational ecosystem emerges from the integration of values, pedagogy, and culture, offering a holistic framework for character education.
