Abstract

This study is important because it addresses the growing need for critical thinking in Islamic boarding school-based education, which is often considered to emphasize traditionalism and rote learning rather than analytical engagement. Despite this perception, the study of fiqh, the traditional Islamic discourse on problem solving, contains dialogical and analytical elements that have not been sufficiently researched in the context of contemporary education. Using a qualitative research approach based on library research with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design, this study examines literature from 2010 to 2024 sourced from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The review identified three main themes: (1) the pedagogical structure of fiqh studies, (2) its cognitive impact on students' critical reasoning, and (3) the integration of pesantren traditions with higher education pedagogy. The findings show that fiqh studies offer a culturally rooted, reflective, and problem-oriented model of inquiry that encourages students to engage in argumentation, ethical deliberation, and collaborative learning. This review contributes to the ongoing debate on the decolonization of education and offers insights into how traditional Islamic epistemology can contribute to global educational reform.

Abstract

The rapid development of technology, globalization, digitalization, and socio-cultural transformation has created significant challenges for contemporary education. Issues such as declining moral values, technological disruption, digital inequality, mental health concerns among students, and curriculum irrelevance require educational approaches that are not only academically oriented but also capable of fostering character and spiritual resilience. Within the broader discourse of educational theory, effective learning is influenced by the appropriateness of teaching methods in facilitating students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor development. Therefore, educational methods that are adaptive, learner centered, and value-based have become increasingly important. This study aims to analyze the educational methods employed by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and examine their relevance in addressing the challenges of modern education. The research employed a qualitative design using a library research approach. Data were collected from hadith collections, Islamic educational literature, scholarly books, and relevant academic journal articles, and were analyzed using descriptive qualitative techniques. The findings reveal ten major educational methods used by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), namely lecture, discussion, experiential learning, question and answer, demonstration, exemplary behavior (uswah hasanah), habituation, counsel (mau'idzah), analogy, and gradual instruction (tadarruj). These methods promote active learning, character formation, critical thinking, moral awareness, and spiritual development. The study concludes that the educational methods of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) remain highly relevant for contemporary educational practice and may serve as an alternative framework for developing holistic, adaptive, and value-oriented educational systems in the twenty first century.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of Jürgen Habermas’s theory of communicative action in rational discourse practices within Southeast Asian pesantren (Islamic boarding schools). Employing a qualitative library research approach, this study examines scholarly literature from the past five years concerning pesantren, digital public spheres, and critical theory. The findings indicate that practices such as bahtsul masail and institutional discussions exhibit deliberative characteristics that approximate communicative rationality, particularly in testing validity claims through collective argumentation. Nevertheless, hierarchical structures between religious leaders and students remain a limiting factor in achieving the ideal speech situation. Digital transformation expands the pesantren public sphere into a more participatory transnational arena, although it introduces challenges such as polarization and regulatory constraints. The study concludes that pesantren can be conceptualized as a laboratory of critical theory praxis in a non-Western Islamic context, contributing to the enrichment and reconstruction of communicative action theory through Southeast Asian socio-religious experiences.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of the pesantren environment and participation in regional organizations on the academic achievement of students from Sumatra, with learning motivation as a mediating variable. The study employed a quantitative approach using an ex-post facto design with a cross-sectional survey. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to 57 Sumatran students studying in pesantren environments in Java. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that participation in regional organizations has a significant positive effect on academic achievement (β = 0.560; p = 0.002). The pesantren environment significantly influences learning motivation (β = 0.345; p = 0.000), but does not have a significant direct effect on academic achievement (β = 0.241; p = 0.193). In addition, academic achievement significantly affects learning motivation (β = 0.513; p = 0.000). The mediation analysis shows that academic achievement significantly mediates the relationship between organizational participation and learning motivation (β = 0.288; p = 0.005), while it does not mediate the relationship between the pesantren environment and learning motivation. The model explains 60.7% of the variance in academic achievement (R² = 0.607) and 93% of the variance in learning motivation (R² = 0.930). These findings highlight that academic success among Sumatran students in pesantren settings is influenced by social engagement, institutional environment, and motivational factors.

Abstract

Advances in information technology have encouraged Islamic boarding schools to adopt Management Information Systems to improve administrative services for students' parents. This study aims to examine the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the Wali Santri application at Pondok Pesantren Fatihul Ulum Al Mahfudz Jember. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed using purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using an interactive model with triangulation to ensure credibility. The findings indicate that system planning was based on user needs assessment and stakeholder involvement, while implementation enhanced the effectiveness, efficiency, transparency, and accessibility of administrative services through integrated digital features. Continuous evaluation enabled system improvements based on user feedback and operational needs. Overall, the Wali Santri application has improved the quality of administrative services, strengthened communication between the pesantren and students' parents, and supported more effective, technology-driven institutional management.

Abstract

This study examines the multicultural educational values embedded in KH. Bisri Musthofa’s Tafsir Al-Ibriz, focusing on the interpretation of Qur'an Surah Al-Hujurat verses 11–13 and its relevance to strengthening multicultural education in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). This study employs a qualitative library research approach with a descriptive-analytical design. The primary source is Tafsir Al-Ibriz, while secondary sources include scholarly works on Qur'anic exegesis, multicultural education, religious moderation, and pesantren studies. Data were collected through documentation and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The findings demonstrate that KH. Bisri Musthofa’s interpretation promotes key multicultural values, including respect for human dignity, trust, empathy, tolerance (tasamuh), moderation (tawassuth), justice (i'tidal), balance (tawazun), equality, inclusivity, and appreciation of diversity. His interpretation emphasizes the prohibition of ridicule, prejudice, spying, and backbiting, while presenting human diversity as sunnatullah (God’s divine order) and affirming that true human dignity is determined by piety rather than ethnicity or social status. These values are reflected in pesantren education through anti-bullying practices, peaceful conflict resolution, religious moderation, intercultural respect, and multicultural character development. This study contributes to the advancement of Islamic educational scholarship by demonstrating that Tafsir Al-Ibriz provides a contextual and culturally grounded framework for multicultural education, thereby enriching the discourse on religious moderation and offering a conceptual foundation for fostering inclusive, peaceful, and socially cohesive education in pluralistic societies.

Abstract

Teacher performance is a crucial factor in determining the quality of learning, therefore, academic supervision is necessary as a strategy to improve teacher professionalism and performance in Islamic boarding school-based educational institutions. This study aims to analyze academic supervision in improving teacher performance at educational institutions under the auspices of the Miftahul Ulum Islamic Boarding School in Pagendingan Pamekasan. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques including interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis employed the Miles and Huberman model, while data validity was validated through triangulation and member checking. The results indicate that academic supervision is implemented through three main stages: (1) planning through identifying learning problems, administrative audits, classroom observations, and teacher needs analysis; (2) implementation through classroom observations, individual supervision, collaborative approaches, discussions, and mentoring; and (3) evaluation and follow-up through coaching, evaluation meetings, recommendations, and training. This research's contribution lies in strengthening the perspective of Islamic boarding school-based academic supervision, which positions supervision not merely as oversight but as a collaborative, sustainable, and contextualized strategy for teacher professional development within the Islamic boarding school culture.
