Scientific Transformation in Islamic Boarding Schools: Strategies for Holistic Islamic Education Development

Abstract

The transformation of science in Islamic boarding schools is a response to the demands of the times, which require the integration of religious and general knowledge. This study aims to examine the learning strategies applied in the transformation process, using a qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and document studies in one of the Islamic boarding schools that has adopted an integrated education model. The results show that Islamic boarding schools have developed an integrative curriculum, utilized digital technology, and applied active learning methods to improve the quality of education. The role of the kyai and teachers is very important as agents of change who encourage innovation without abandoning traditional values. Despite challenges such as limited resources and internal resistance, Islamic boarding schools show a strong commitment to shaping students who are not only religious but also intellectually and socially competent. These findings contribute to the development of a holistic Islamic education model that is relevant to the needs of modern society.
