Abstract

This study reconceptualizes pesantren as a living educational ecosystem through the humanistic pedagogy of KH. Ahmad Mustofa Bisri, widely known as Gus Mus. The main problem addressed is that previous studies often describe pesantrens as religious institutions, cultural transmitters, or moral communities. Still, they rarely explain how a pesantren can operate as a humanity-centered educational system grounded in a clear analytical paradigm. This qualitative documentary study analyzes Gus Mus' selected writings, recorded public messages, and scholarly literature on pesantren, humanistic education, and educational ecology. The analysis follows document analysis, thematic coding, theoretical triangulation, and conceptual model building. The findings show that Gus Mus' thought functions as an analytical lens through four operational values: humanity as the aim of learning, rahmah as the ethic of relation, humility as the discipline of self, and social piety as the measure of knowledge. These values illuminate pesantren as an ecosystem where kyai leadership, sanad, adab, communal discipline, daily rituals, kitab learning, and service practices interact to form moral agency. The study proposes a human-centered pesantren educational model that links value input, ecosystem processes, reflective mediation, and humanistic output. This model contributes to pesantren studies by shifting the focus from institutional description to an operational theory of lived human formation.

Abstract

Pesantren face new challenges in the form of turbulent, uncertain, and novel changes, or the TUNA Era, which refers to an institutional condition characterized by turbulence, uncertainty, novelty, and ambiguity. This study aims to analyze how the leadership of Nyai Hj. Bariroh Aziz at the Al-Madienah Denanyar Pesantren in Jombang builds institutional resilience through the perspectives of self-agency and feminist ethics. This study employs a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis, and then analyzed thematically through data reduction, coding, and case interpretation. The results indicate that Nyai’s leadership is built upon eight dimensions of self-agency: self-reflection, open communication, processing of experiences, the ability to make sound decisions, analysis of long-term benefits, care for oneself and the environment, consistent commitment, and a willingness to engage in continuous learning. These dimensions form a leadership style that is reflective, adaptive, inclusive, and oriented toward the common good, thereby strengthening the resilience of the pesantren without compromising its core values. This study expands the discourse on women’s leadership in pesantrens by demonstrating that women’s agency serves as a source of institutional resilience. Theoretically, self-agency and feminist ethics help explain how the authority, moral responsibility, and strategic decisions of female leaders contribute to institutional resilience amid uncertainty.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the presence of Chinese-style architecture at Pondok Pesantren Annasiha Salatiga, which continues to preserve the traditional salaf pesantren educational system and Javanese santri culture. This phenomenon reflects a unique cultural encounter between Islam, Javanese tradition, and Chinese culture within the educational space of the pesantren. The study aims to analyze the symbolism of Chinese architecture, the construction of Javanese identity, and the practice of religious moderation within the pesantren environment. This research employs a descriptive, qualitative approach, drawing on the perspectives of cultural anthropology and architectural semiotics. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that Chinese architectural elements, including curved roofs, Chinese-style gates, ornaments, and symbolic colors, are reinterpreted within the Islamic and Javanese traditions of An-Nasiha Salaf Pesantren. Their integration with Javanese cultural values fosters cultural acculturation, multicultural awareness, tolerance, and religious moderation, contributing to the formation of an inclusive and adaptive Islamic identity. This study recommends further development of pesantren studies focusing on cultural perspectives and architectural symbolism as part of broader discussions on Islam Nusantara and multicultural Islamic education.
