Integration of Islamic Boarding School Scientific Traditions and Modern Educational Innovations in the Reconstruction of Islamic Religious Education Learning

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) faces increasingly complex demands for change along with the development of digital technology, changing student characteristics, and the increasing need for 21st-century competencies. This study aims to analyze and synthesize literature on the integration of Islamic boarding school scientific traditions with modern educational innovations in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning and formulate a conceptual framework for the reconstruction of PAI learning that is adaptive to the development of the digital era without losing the values, manners, and epistemology of Islamic boarding schools. The study uses a qualitative approach with a library research method through a systematic literature review of relevant academic literature. Data are analyzed using qualitative content analysis and thematic synthesis to identify patterns, relationships, gaps, and conceptual synthesis from various previous studies. The results of the study indicate that Islamic boarding school scientific traditions, including manners, exemplary, sanad of knowledge, talaqqi, sorogan, bandongan, and musyawarah, have relevance to modern pedagogy such as personalized learning, collaborative learning, dialogic learning, problem-based learning, and project-based learning. Digital technology and hybrid learning can function as instruments to strengthen access, interaction, and learning experiences. The research resulted in a framework for the Reconstruction of Islamic Religious Education Learning Based on the Integration of Tradition-Innovation through four dimensions, namely epistemological, pedagogical, technological, and axiological, with the principle of "tradition as a foundation, innovation as a strategy, and Islamic values ​​as an orientation." The integration of Islamic boarding school traditions and modern educational innovation is an important strategy for building Islamic Religious Education learning that is adaptive, critical, contextual, and responsive to the digital era, while maintaining Islamic manners, morals, identity, and scientific authority.
