This study aims to analyze the forms of conflict between tradition and modernization in Islamic educational institutions, identify the contributing factors, and formulate effective conflict management strategies. Using the library research method, data were collected from various academic sources, including journals, books, and relevant policy documents. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify conflict patterns and their resolutions. The findings indicate that the primary conflicts arise in curriculum, teaching methods, and leadership systems. The key contributing factors include generational differences, national education policies, and globalization pressures that demand modernization. Effective conflict management strategies include dialogue and mediation approaches, the implementation of a hybrid system that integrates tradition and innovation, and participatory leadership involving all stakeholders. This study concludes that proper conflict management can create a balance between traditional values and modernization demands in Islamic education. The implications of this study highlight the need for flexible policies that accommodate historical aspects and educational transformation to ensure the continued relevance of Islamic educational institutions in the digital era.
