The Value Shift of Pesantren's Islamic Studies Tradition

摘要

This study was aimed at investigating the value shift of Islamic studies tradition which is established in Assalaam Islamic Modern Boarding School, Central Java Indonesia. The interaction of pesantren with modern and globalized environment has a huge impact on the traditional value shift which is being developed, especially the value shift of Islamic studies tradition. The value shift from traditional-modern to modern-capitalist was influenced by modernization, globalization, secularization, industrialization, and capitalism. It was clearly seen from the academic manner applied, both professional working and school system. Pesantren has shifted its educational model from pesantren values into material values. Modernization has caused the impact of epistemological value crisis of Islamic studies leading to the decreasing of pesantren identity due to the shifting of content and lack of Islamic material. It caused the disengagement of the spiritual dimension value and mainly on the exploitation of the physical dimension value. The value shift of Islamic studies tradition was also indicated by rationalization of the religious values of pesantren teaching scriptural impacts to be non-defensive towards Islamic studies in the model of school and kitab kuning (classical Islamic books) as authoritative learning references.
