Abstract

This study examines the institutional adaptation of Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Indonesia in response to social, cultural, and educational changes. The primary focus of this research is the dynamics of change in governance, curriculum, and organisational practices in Islamic boarding schools. This research uses a qualitative design with a phenomenological-sociological approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with kiai, administrators, teachers, students, and alumni, as well as institutional archival documentation and direct observation. Data analysis was conducted using the adaptive strategy framework, institutional change theory, and Philip A. Woods' four elements of adaptation: amplification, instrumental artifacts, freedom as a capability, and resource mobilisation. The results show that amplification is rooted in reforms that affirm the core values of Islamic boarding schools, while instrumental artifacts are evident in formal education and alumni collaboration. Freedom is reflected in governance that allows for limited space for innovation, and resource mobilisation combines symbolic and material capital to support change. Islamic boarding school adaptation is selective, employing a strategy of "resisting while following," which maintains cultural authenticity while competing in modern education. This research provides implications that Islamic boarding schools are selective in maintaining cultural authenticity and competitiveness in the modern education landscape.

Abstract

General Background: Access to education for Indonesian migrant children in Malaysia remains limited due to immigration restrictions and socio-economic barriers, making non-formal education a vital alternative. Specific Background: The Sentul Guidance Center (Sanggar Bimbingan Sentul) serves as a Community Learning Center (PKBM) under the Indonesian Embassy, providing literacy, numeracy, and religious habituation to children without formal school access. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have examined program effectiveness but rarely explored long-term sustainability, especially the interplay of institutional support, parental involvement, and spiritual practices. Aims: This study investigates the factors sustaining non-formal education, analyzing how institutional, pedagogical, and community elements ensure continuity despite limited resources. Results: Using a qualitative case study, findings reveal that sustainability depends on embassy-backed institutional support, adaptive teacher strategies, parental moral encouragement, and high student motivation. Religious activities, particularly the duha prayer, enhance discipline and learning focus. Novelty: Unlike prior research, this study highlights the combined influence of state educational diplomacy, collaborative community engagement, and the integration of spiritual practices as critical to program resilience. Implications: The results provide a model for policy development and program design, demonstrating that multi-stakeholder collaboration and the inclusion of spiritual dimensions can sustain non-formal education for migrant children in challenging contexts. Highlights: Institutional and community collaboration ensures program continuity. Adaptive teaching and duha prayer enhance learning discipline. Parental moral support motivates children despite limited involvement. Keywords: Non Formal Education, Migrant Children, Sentul Guidance Center, Calistung, Duha Prayer

Abstract

Tulisan ini hadir untuk menggambarkan pola yang dilakukan oleh alumni pesantren yang berada di daerah rawan konflik agama. Dalam beberapa kasus, alumni-alumni pesantren mampu menemukan solusi atas konflik agama tersebut. Kreatifitas alumni pesantrenlah yang membuat kondisi harmoni agama dapat dilakukan dengan nalar dan pemahaman yang didapat saat di pesantren. Sebagaimana diketahui, pesantren di Indonesia selain mengajarkan kemandirian dan kesederahaan santri, juga diajarkan nilai-nilai Ukhuwah Wathaniyah dan Basyariyah. Dalam konteks ini pula, terdapat kecocokan antara pola harmonisasi konflik agama di India dengan yang dilakukan oleh alumni pesantren di daerah rawan konflik agama. Misalnya dengan melakukan hubungan asosiasi melalui organisasi, atau hubungan everyday forms forms of engagement, yakni dengan melakukan kerjasama bidang ekonomi dan budaya, yang kesemuanya dibangun di atas nilai ukhuwah wathaniyah dan basyariyah. Hal yang sama dilakukan di desa Sidomulyo Kecamatan Pronojiwo Lumajang. Daerah yang memiliki 4 agama dan terdapat harmoni yang cukup tinggi antar pemeluk agama, sekalipun pernah terjadi konflik agama di tahun 1965 dan tahun 2000. Di desa tersebut para santri dapat memainkan peran sebagai katalisator dan agen perubahan sosial masyarakat

Abstract

This study aims to explore the improvement of reading–writing literacy skills and understanding of fiqh through the use of the ABACAGA Fast Book as an innovative learning medium for Indonesian immigrant children in Malaysia. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study method, conducted over one month at PKBM PNF KBRI Malaysia. The findings revealed that the use of the ABACAGA Fast Book significantly improved the children’s ability to read, write, and understand basic Indonesian vocabulary. Children who initially struggled to recognize letters began reading simple words and sentences after four weeks of intensive mentoring. Moreover, the integration of basic fiqh materials such as the procedures of wudu, shalat, and daily manners enhanced the students’ religious understanding and practice. The ABACAGA Fast Book proved to be an effective learning tool for promoting literacy in a joyful, contextual, and spiritually meaningful way among Indonesian immigrant children, especially in non-formal education settings abroad.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Some Indonesian students aged 10–12 at the Indonesian Embassy in Malaysia's PNF Learning Center (PKBM PNF) still demonstrate low basic literacy skills. This condition is related to family backgrounds that do not have clear legal status due to unregistered marriages and the lack of valid citizenship documents. In addition, parental involvement in accompanying children's learning process at home is relatively low due to the demands of full-time work. This study aims to accompany and improve basic literacy skills through the ABACAGA Guidebook and contextual fiqh materials. The population in this study were PMI elementary school children in grades 1 and 2 with a sample of 20 students. This study used a qualitative empirical method with a participatory approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, pre-tests and post-tests, and direct documentation in the field. The conclusion from the results of this mentoring was able to improve basic literacy skills, strengthen children's learning habits, and introduce basic fiqh understanding such as ablution, prayer, and short readings. Each child we support shows varying levels of progress, proving that all children excel in their own talents, and with the right approach, they can develop optimally, even with limitations.   Keywords: literacy, abacaga method, Islamic jurisprudence

Abstract

This community service article examines the transformation of village land into bamboo-paranet community greenhouses as a low-cost solution to reduce household expenditures and strengthen food security. The service methodology uses Participatory Action Research (PAR) and religious social capital as a replication protocol. The activities are carried out through the PAR cycle (to know, to plan, to action, to reflect), utilizing socio-economic mapping and income mapping, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) using problem-tree and hope-tree analysis, and technical assistance for the development of bamboo-rack paranet greenhouses. Initial results indicate an increase in the availability of fresh kitchen supplies at the household level, strengthening the role of women in food management for both families and communities, and a reduction in daily household expenditures as reliance on the market for vegetables and spices decreases. Additionally, the integration of religious social capital has proven to enhance compliance with duty schedules and usage regulations. Pre–post quantitative data related to household expenditures and harvest volume will be presented in the final manuscript to measure the effectiveness of the community greenhouse model as a low-cost/high-impact intervention within the framework of the six dimensions of food security.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relevance of collaborative learning within the theoretical framework of Lev Vygotsky’s social constructivism, particularly by examining how the concepts of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and scaffolding are operationalized in collaborative practices. Although collaborative learning has been widely implemented in contemporary classrooms, limited literature explicitly integrates it with Vygotskian constructs in a comprehensive theoretical review. This research employed a qualitative library research design using a systematic literature review approach. Academic sources published between 2015 and 2025 were identified through major databases, screened using inclusion and exclusion criteria, and analyzed thematically following PRISMA procedures. The analysis focused on four dominant themes: collaboration as a mechanism of ZPD, layered scaffolding (cognitive, metacognitive, and socio-emotional), socio-emotional dynamics in group interaction, and digital collaborative learning in relation to 21st-century skills. The findings indicate that collaborative learning functions as the practical operationalization of ZPD through peer interaction and shared meaning-making. Scaffolding is most effective when distributed across teachers, peers, and digital agents. Socio-emotional factors, such as trust and conflict regulation, serve as active mechanisms supporting cognitive internalization. The novelty of this study lies in proposing the concept of group-ZPD and integrating multi-modal scaffolding, socio-emotional learning, and digital mediation into a unified Vygotskian framework. This study contributes theoretically by extending social constructivism into digital contexts and practically by offering design principles for collaborative learning aligned with 21st-century competencies.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the nature of ecospirituality within Islamic education, the strategies for integrating Islamic educational values into an ecopesantren program, and the implementation of these values in shaping students’ spirituality and ecological awareness. The research employed a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach to explore participants’ lived experiences through non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation analysis. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, while triangulation techniques were applied to ensure credibility and trustworthiness. The findings indicate that ecospirituality is constructed through the systematic integration of theological principles, thematic curriculum development, contextual interpretation of religious texts, exemplary leadership, and structured environmental habituation programs such as cleanliness movements, room inspections, and waste-free initiatives. These practices transform environmental care into a lived spiritual commitment, fostering ecological consciousness alongside religious devotion. The study implies that faith-based environmental education can function as an integrative model that bridges Islamic pedagogy, spirituality, and sustainability in responding to contemporary ecological challenges.
