Abstract

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) have long been central to Indonesia’s educational and cultural landscape, serving as custodians of Islamic learning and community values. However, the rise of digital education has prompted pesantren to reconsider their roles in preparing students for the demands of the 21st century. This study explores how pesantren in Makassar negotiate the integration of digital technologies while preserving their traditional functions. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis across three pesantren with varying levels of digital readiness. Thematic analysis revealed four key findings: first, pesantren exhibit different levels of digital readiness shaped by institutional resources and leadership commitment; second, teaching practices are gradually shifting toward blended pedagogies where digital tools complement traditional halaqah methods; third, challenges such as infrastructural gaps, digital literacy disparities, and cultural resistance continue to limit adoption; and fourth, pesantren are redefining their identity as hybrid institutions that combine religious tradition with technological innovation. These findings underscore that pesantren in Makassar are not merely adapting to digital transformation but actively reshaping their educational mission. Policy support, teacher training, and community collaboration are essential to ensure inclusive and context-sensitive digital integration within pesantren.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the case study model in Social Studies learning at public junior high schools in Makassar, focusing on its impact on students’ conceptual understanding. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with two teachers and 60 students, and analysis of student worksheets and reflective journals. The findings reveal that teachers applied the case study model by integrating real-life local issues, such as urban flooding and waste management, into classroom instruction. This approach successfully engaged students in active inquiry, group discussions, and reflective analysis. Students reported higher motivation and found Social Studies more relevant to their daily lives, while teachers observed improvements in students’ analytical reasoning and ability to connect abstract concepts with real-world contexts. The analysis also showed that 38% of students achieved a high level of integrated conceptual understanding, moving beyond memorization to application and evaluation. Despite challenges related to time management and unequal group participation, the benefits of case-based learning outweighed its limitations. The study concludes that the case study model aligns with the Merdeka Belajar curriculum and constructivist principles, offering an effective strategy to foster deeper learning, civic awareness, and critical thinking in Social Studies classrooms in Indonesia.
