Abstract

This research article discusses analyzing the implementation of the Islamic Boarding School curriculum at the Tahfidzul Qur'an Dormitory of MAN Surabaya City which combines the traditional values of the Islamic boarding school with the demands of educational modernization. The focus of the research is directed at how the curriculum is designed, implemented, and its impact on the religious character and competence of students. The formulation of the problem in this study includes: how to integrate the tradition-based pesantren curriculum and modernization in the Tahfidzul Qur'an Dormitory of MAN Surabaya City; how pesantren learning strategies are applied in the dormitory system; and how the influence of the curriculum in shaping the religious character and spiritual competence of students. The research uses a qualitative case study method with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study show that the pesantren curriculum at the Tahfidzul Qur'an Dormitory of MAN Surabaya City not only maintains pesantren traditions such as sorogan, bandongan, and worship habits, but also integrates modern technology-based learning models, projects, and strengthening religious moderation literacy. The integration of these two approaches has been proven to be able to improve discipline, worship skills, religious literacy skills, and tolerance attitudes of students. Thus, the curriculum developed becomes a new pattern of Islamic education in public schools that has a pesantren style that is relevant to the needs of the modern generation without leaving the roots of Islamic scientific traditions.
