Abstract

Islamic boarding schools, known as pondok pesantren, have been distinctive and longstanding educational institutions in Indonesia. Throughout their development, these traditional Islamic educational institutions have undergone significant changes, particularly in the modern era, which has propelled advancements in knowledge and technology. This research aimed to describe the educational patterns of a pondok pesantren and the efforts made by Al-Mukmin Ngruki Islamic Boarding School to address challenges and obstacles in the contemporary era. This qualitative research adopted a case study approach, focusing on a specific location. Data collection methods included observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings of this study revealed that the educational pattern et al.-Mukmin Ngruki Islamic Boarding School fulfilled the characteristics of a modern or khalaf-style pondok pesantren. These characteristics included: (1) having a hierarchical madrasah system similar to conventional schools, ranging from Madrasah Tsanawiyah to Madrasah ‘Aliyah; (2) integrating the curriculum with the Ministry of Religious Affairs; (3) incorporating non-religious education alongside religious education; (4) shifting from traditional teaching methods such as sorogan and bandongan to lecture-style methods; and (5) providing modern facilities to support education et al.-Mukmin Ngruki Islamic Boarding School. The educational orientation and objectives of the institution focused on the formation of individuals who had a deep understanding of religion and mastery of general knowledge (ulama and intellectuals). Furthermore, there was a renewal and strengthening of institutional systems, moving away from a centralized structure revolving around a single religious leader (kyai). The school also expanded its functions beyond education to encompass socio-economic aspects of the community by providing vocational skills training for students. However, it should be noted that the study found a significant reliance on lecture-style teaching methods in the learning process.
