Empowering Pesantren Economic Growth Through Financial Literacy Improvement in HEBITREN Solo Raya

Asep Maulana Rohimat — 2025-07-22

The economic empowerment of pesantren has become a strategic focus in enhancing the financial independence of Islamic educational institutions. However, many pesantren business units under the Himpunan Ekonomi dan Bisnis Pesantren (HEBITREN) Solo Raya still face challenges in financial literacy and management. This community engagement program applied the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach combined with a qualitative descriptive method to analyze the impact of financial literacy training. The study involved 50 participants from various pesantren business units, aiming to improve their financial literacy and financial management skills. The initial assessment revealed that not all participants had adequate knowledge of financial recording, particularly in the context of sharia-based accounting. The training began with fundamental financial recording techniques and later introduced participants to SIAPIK, a financial recording application provided by Bank Indonesia. Qualitative descriptive analysis of the training process indicated that participants gained significant improvements in financial literacy, and all successfully installed and utilized the SIAPIK application to manage and report their financial activities. These findings suggest that the ABCD approach, supported by qualitative descriptive analysis, effectively strengthens pesantren entrepreneurship by integrating financial literacy with technological solutions, thereby promoting economic sustainability within the pesantren ecosystem.

Yogi Sopian Haris — 2025-07-30

Islamic boarding schools play a central role in shaping competitive human resources in the digital era. However, the implementation of artificial intelligence in the learning curriculum at pesantren still faces various complex challenges, such as limited technological infrastructure, educator readiness, and supportive academic policies. These challenges raise questions about the extent of the needs and readiness of pesantren to adopt AI as part of the learning system. This research aims to analyze the needs and readiness of pesantren in implementing AI in the learning curriculum. The research method used is a literature study with a qualitative approach. The research results show that the need for AI implementation in Pesantren education is very urgent. This is primarily related to the enhancement of educators' competencies in digital literacy, the provision of supportive infrastructure, and the development of curricula that align with Islamic values. Educators in pesantren environments generally have a limited understanding of AI, and most do not yet have the skills to integrate this technology into the learning process. Meanwhile, from an infrastructure perspective, there are still many limitations in access to technological devices and stable internet networks. Moreover, some pesantren administrators are concerned that AI could shift traditional values in the Islamic education system, leading to resistance to change. The conclusion of this study shows that although the demand for AI in Pesantren education is very high, the level of institutional readiness is still limited, both in terms of teaching staff, infrastructure, and policies.

Unlocking the Potential of Enterprise Structured Waqf for Business Based Pesantren in Indonesia

Iskandar — 2025-08-09

Pesantren, as Islamic educational institutions, play a crucial role in shaping religious and moral values in Indonesia. In addition to their educational function, many pesantren have developed business units to sustain their operational costs. However, challenges such as financial sustainability, limited managerial expertise, and regulatory constraints often hinder their ability to achieve economic independence. This study examines the potential of implementing the Enterprise-Structured Waqf (ESW) model as an innovative approach to strengthen the economic foundations of business-based pesantren in Indonesia. The ESW model is a waqf-based corporate model that integrates the principles of Islamic endowment (waqf) with modern business management. This model allows waqf assets to be managed professionally, generating sustainable revenues while maintaining the original waqf objectives. This research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing content analysis of existing literature, including academic journals, books, policy papers, and case studies on enterprise waqf models. The findings of this study suggest that ESW has strong potential to be implemented in Indonesian pesantren, offering a sustainable solution for enhancing their financial autonomy. By leveraging waqf assets for productive economic activities, pesantren can generate long-term revenue streams while fulfilling their social and educational missions. However, several challenges need to be addressed, including low waqf literacy, legal ambiguities, and the need for capacity building among pesantren stakeholders. This study recommends targeted policy support, increased collaboration with Islamic financial institutions, and tailored training programs to facilitate the adoption of the ESW model in pesantren across Indonesia.

Musthofa — 2025-08-12

This Abstract. Digital transformation marked by the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has had a significant impact on the world of education, including Islamic boarding schools as traditional Islamic educational institutions. Although AI presents great opportunities in learning efficiency, personalization of materials, and access to knowledge, this technology also poses serious challenges to the formation of spiritual values and character of students. This study aims to analyze the impact of the use of AI on the spiritual values and character of students and to explore the managerial approach of Islamic boarding schools in integrating the values of the Qur'an through the interpretation of Quraish Shihab. The method used is qualitative research with a literature study approach, with primary data in the form of the Qur'an and the Tafsir Al-Mishbah, and supported by secondary literature from various scientific sources. The results of the analysis show that the use of AI that is not accompanied by strengthening divine values has the potential to cause degradation of manners, spiritual independence, and personal relationships between students and teachers. However, with an adaptive-protective managerial approach and a curriculum based on Qur'anic values, Islamic boarding schools can create an ethical and spiritual AI education ecosystem. This study emphasizes the importance of the principle of technology with spirituality in responding to the challenges of the times without sacrificing the character and spirit of Islamic education

Diah Fachrunisa — 2025-08-19

Santri yang menempuh pendidikan tinggi umumnya memilih pendidikan Islam sebagai bidang studi mereka, yang memperkuat peran mereka di lembaga keagamaan tetapi membatasi potensi kontribusi mereka terhadap pembangunan sosial-ekonomi yang lebih luas. Studi ini mengkaji bagaimana alumni pesantren dapat menjadi agen perubahan yang transformatif jika dibekali literasi ekonomi yang tinggi dan pemahaman tentang prinsip-prinsip ekonomi Islam. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif, termasuk survei lapangan, wawancara terstruktur, dan data kuesioner dari pesantren di wilayah Parung Panjang, studi ini mengeksplorasi tren pilihan pendidikan tinggi di kalangan lulusan pesantren dan implikasinya terhadap pemberdayaan ekonomi. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa meskipun pesantren menekankan pendidikan agama, terdapat sedikit dorongan bagi santri untuk mengeksplorasi ekonomi Islam sebagai jalur karier yang layak. Pergeseran menuju integrasi literasi ekonomi ke dalam kurikulum pesantren dapat memungkinkan lulusan untuk memainkan peran yang lebih signifikan dalam pengembangan masyarakat di luar ajaran agama. Mahasiswa pendidikan tinggi berlatar belakang pesantren, jika dibekali dengan keahlian ekonomi, dapat mengubah masjid menjadi pusat kegiatan ekonomi, mendorong kewirausahaan, inklusi keuangan, dan inisiatif berkelanjutan berbasis komunitas.

Predicting Consumer Payment Preferences Using Naïve Bayes: A Supervised Learning Approach for Behavioral Insight

Rahmat Rizkiyanto — 2025-08-21

Abstract

In the age of digital transformation, understanding consumer payment preferences is critical for designing effective financial systems and service strategies. This study proposes a supervised learning approach using the Naïve Bayes Classifier to predict consumer payment methods—cash or digital—based on key demographic and behavioral attributes, including gender, age, and transaction history. A synthetic dataset comprising 500 records was developed to reflect real-world consumer profiles. The methodology involved data preprocessing, model development, and performance evaluation using standard classification metrics: confusion matrix, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC-ROC. The resulting model achieved 93.60% accuracy, with a precision of 93.25% for digital payment prediction and a recall of 93.92% for cash payment classification. The AUC-ROC score of 0.986 indicates excellent discriminative performance. These findings demonstrate the practical utility and efficiency of the Naïve Bayes algorithm in capturing behavioral patterns from limited input features. The approach is relevant for developing intelligent recommendation systems, supporting risk assessment, and advancing digital financial literacy—particularly in emerging sectors such as education, including Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), which are increasingly integrating digital financial tools.

Ethical and Multicultural Considerations in Modern Curriculum Development

Anas Fauzi — 2025-10-18

In the twenty-first century, curriculum development faces the dual imperative of fostering ethical responsibility and multicultural competence amid global diversity. This study investigates how ethical and multicultural dimensions can be effectively integrated into modern curriculum design to promote inclusive, equitable, and socially just education. Employing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from educators, students, and policymakers through surveys, interviews, focus groups, and curriculum document analysis across multiple educational levels. Quantitative findings revealed a statistically significant correlation (p < .01) between the degree of ethical multicultural integration and student engagement levels, while qualitative data underscored structural and pedagogical barriers such as limited teacher training and inconsistent institutional support. Thematic analysis further identified that authentic, context-based learning approaches such as project-based learning and ethical simulations enhance students’ empathy and intercultural understanding. The study concludes that the integration gap arises not from conceptual disagreement but from institutional inertia and fragmented practice. It proposes a comprehensive framework that aligns policy, pedagogy, and professional learning to bridge the divide between ethical ideals and multicultural realities. This research contributes theoretically to the discourse on moral and cultural education and practically to the development of transformative, inclusive curriculum models for contemporary education systems.
