Transformasi Pembelajaran Dual Track System Di Pondok Pesantren Mangunsari Nganjuk Perspektif Kurt Lewin

2026-02-07T12:06:08+07:00

Salaf pesantren are confronted with the challenges of the modern era, which require the integration of traditional religious education and formal schooling in order to remain relevant to contemporary demands. This study aims to describe and analyze the process of learning transformation at Pondok Pesantren Mangunsari Nganjuk from the perspective of Kurt Lewin’s theory of change, as well as to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors influencing this process. Employing a qualitative research design with a case study approach, the findings reveal that Pondok Pesantren Mangunsari has successfully transformed from a purely salaf system into a dual-track education model by integrating a formal Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) into its educational structure. This transformation aligns with the three stages of Kurt Lewin’s change theory: unfreezing (the emergence of awareness of the need for change), changing (the implementation of innovation through the establishment of the MTs), and refreezing (the institutionalization of the new system through sustainable policies and the formation of a new learning culture). The main inhibiting factor identified is the issue of leadership succession, while a crucial supporting factor is the successful development of a new, loyal, and innovation-oriented community base through Jam'iyah Istighotsah. The study concludes that pesantren are capable of strategically synthesizing tradition and modernity to respond to contemporary challenges without losing their fundamental identity.

2026-02-22T23:41:20+07:00

Krisis ekologis yang semakin meningkat pada era modern tidak hanya menunjukkan kerusakan fisik lingkungan, tetapi juga mencerminkan krisis moral dan spiritual dalam cara manusia memandang relasi antara dirinya, alam, dan Tuhan. Fenomena seperti perubahan iklim, pencemaran lingkungan, eksploitasi sumber daya alam, serta meningkatnya bencana ekologis menunjukkan lemahnya kesadaran etis dan keimanan dalam pengelolaan alam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam menghadapi krisis ekologi serta menumbuhkan kesadaran iman terhadap alam sebagai bagian dari tanggung jawab keagamaan manusia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi pustaka dengan pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif melalui analisis terhadap berbagai sumber literatur, meliputi buku, artikel jurnal, dan kajian akademik yang relevan dengan ekoteologi Islam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Islam menyediakan landasan etika lingkungan yang kuat dan komprehensif melalui konsep tauhid, khalifah, amanah, keseimbangan (mīzān), serta larangan fasād yang menegaskan kewajiban manusia untuk menjaga kelestarian alam. Pendidikan Agama Islam memiliki peran strategis dalam menginternalisasikan nilai-nilai tersebut melalui integrasi materi pembelajaran, pembiasaan akhlak ramah lingkungan, keteladanan guru, serta penguatan spiritualitas peserta didik melalui refleksi terhadap ayat-ayat kauniyah. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa Pendidikan Agama Islam mampu menumbuhkan kesadaran iman ekologis yang komprehensif, mencakup dimensi pengetahuan, kesadaran moral, dan tindakan nyata dalam menjaga lingkungan sebagai bentuk ibadah dan tanggung jawab keimanan. Kajian ini merekomendasikan pengembangan kurikulum Pendidikan Agama Islam berbasis ekoteologi, penguatan kompetensi guru dalam pendidikan lingkungan, serta penelitian lanjutan yang menelaah implementasi pembelajaran ekologis berbasis keimanan di berbagai jenjang pendidikan.

2026-02-22T02:34:13+07:00

This important effort in its actualization must certainly consider many aspects, including the learning tools used. It is important to understand that in order to realize this innovative educational concept, it is also necessary to pay attention to the use of appropriate and flexible teaching materials. The teaching materials referred to in this case are teaching modules that can help each educator contextualize the material presented to students. The benefits of the modules themselves are actually fundamental, as they open opportunities for students to be able to adjust their learning needs according to their abilities, conceptualize learning styles, and create engaging learning models. The modules also help educators in conceptualizing effective learning processes that can develop the character and potential of students who are not only intelligent but also independent, skilled, and virtuous. This study aims to analyze the definition of a learning module, the basic principles underlying it, the stages of development and implementation of learning modules in the classroom, and the challenges faced. Using a qualitative method with a case study approach, the results of the study indicate that modules have a significant urgency in the teaching and learning process at SMK Arbai Qohhar in Jambangan Village, Paron District, Ngawi Regency. The study results indicate that learning modules play a vital role in creating a structured, independent, and effective learning process. Their implementation enhances student engagement and creativity while facilitating teachers in delivering the material. Despite challenges such as varying teacher competencies and student abilities, modules remain a strategic tool for improving learning quality.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the strategic role of Islamic counseling and its relevance to student mental health in Indonesia. The role of Islamic counseling for student mental health is to meet the aspirations of the Indonesian nation to realize a golden generation in 2045. Problems in the field indicate that student mental health problems result in mental disorders such as excessive anxiety and moral degradation that require appropriate treatment. The integration of spiritual values in Islamic counseling is a basic requirement in the national education system as a tangible form of scientific contribution. This qualitative research uses a literature study approach. Primary and secondary data are obtained from reliable scientific sources. Data analysis uses content analysis, which examines the concepts, ideas, and values within the research data sources. The results of this study indicate that the integration of Islamic counseling in maintaining student mental health can be done through the tazkiyatun nafs technique. In addition, it can also strengthen students' piety and resilience. This approach, in practice, only addresses clinical symptoms, where these conditions can build a solid foundation of character by guiding students to realize spiritual awareness. Islamic counseling services have been proven to provide a balance between emotional intelligence and intellectual intelligence. Counseling services are a fundamental and crucial instrument in creating a generation that is mentally and spiritually strong and has ethical dignity, so that it can become a complete golden generation in 2045. The success of this transformation is none other than the power that has synergy between school counselors, curriculum and religious environment.

The mean post-test score reached 81.6, considerably higher than the 69.2 recorded by the conventional group. Nevertheless, implementation of this approach continues to face notable challenges, particularly inadequate technological infrastructure and insufficient teacher competence in integrating innovative instructional methods. The study recommends intensive professional development for educators and robust institutional policy support to optimize the application of deep learning in senior high schools, especially in remote areas.

Pendidikan Nilai Kejujuran Berbasis Kesadaran Ilahiah dalam Kitab Akhlāq Lil Banīn (Kajian Pasal al-Walad al-Amīn)

2026-02-28T14:13:21+07:00

Character education, particularly the value of honesty, is a crucial issue in shaping children’s moral development in contemporary times. Honesty is not merely adherence to social rules but also a manifestation of divine awareness guiding consistent moral behavior. This study aims to analyze the teaching of honesty based on divine awareness in Kitab Akhlāq Lil Banīn, focusing on the chapter al-Walad al-Amīn. A qualitative library research approach was employed, including analysis of the primary text and secondary literature on Islamic character and moral education. The findings indicate that honesty is cultivated through an integrative pedagogical mechanism: rational dialogue, behavioral exemplars, persuasive advice, and internalization of moral consequences. Honesty is tested in the absence of external supervision, teaching children to regulate behavior through awareness of Allah’s oversight (muraqabah). This approach emphasizes internalization of moral values, rather than formal compliance. Divine awareness serves as the foundation for sustained honesty, fostering moral and spiritual integrity. This study contributes academically to understanding honesty education based on spiritual consciousness and offers a pedagogical model relevant to contemporary Islamic character education.

From Hierarchy To Reciprocity: Re-Envisioning Teacher-Student Relations In Islamic Education Through Qira’ah Mubadalah

2026-03-01T23:01:58+07:00

Teacher-student relationships within the Islamic educational tradition are frequently characterized by a unidirectional, vertical hierarchy in which the student is relegated to a passive recipient of knowledge. This power imbalance often triggers pedagogical stagnation and, in extreme cases, manifests as physical violence or emotional detachment. This study proposes a paradigm shift by re-envisioning the dynamics of teacher-student relations through the lens of Mubādalah (Reciprocity). Employing a qualitative approach grounded in hermeneutic analysis, this paper deconstructs the conventional "subject-object" dichotomy and replaces it with a "subject-to-subject" partnership grounded in Mubādalah principles. The analysis applies a three-step Mubādalah framework: first, identifying universal Islamic principles of justice; second, extracting core pedagogical values from religious texts; and third, reciprocally distributing these values to both teachers and students. The findings demonstrate that applying Mubādalah to teacher-student relations transforms the classroom into a space of mutual dignity, where both parties become active participants in a shared spiritual and intellectual journey. This reciprocal model does not diminish the teacher's role but reframes their position from an absolute authority to a mentor and facilitator grounded in compassion (raḥmah). Ultimately, this research contributes to the discourse on Islamic educational reform by providing a theological and methodological foundation for creating non-violent, egalitarian, and harmonious learning environments suited to the challenges of the 21st century.
