The Shift of Learning Traditions at Nurul Jadid Islamic Boarding School from Sorogan and Bandongan to Information Technology-Based Curriculum

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the shift in learning traditions at the Nurul Jadid Islamic Boarding School from the sorogan and bandongan methods to information technology-based classical learning. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the boarding school administrators, the Head of the Madrasah Diniyah, ustadz, and students. Data analysis used the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the sorogan and bandongan methods remain the hallmarks of yellow book learning and the character formation of students. However, the increase in the number of students, the need for more effective educational management, and technological developments have encouraged Islamic boarding schools to adopt classical systems and digital learning. This transformation is evident in structured class divisions, curriculum development, the use of e-learning, digital books, and blended learning. These changes improve the effectiveness of learning, educational management, and the technological competence of students and ustadz, although they reduce the intensity of personal relationships between kiai and students. This study concludes that Nurul Jadid Boarding Schoolis able to integrate salafiyah traditions with educational modernization. The novelty of the research lies in the discovery of a hybrid Islamic boarding school learning model that combines traditional methods and digital technology in a balanced manner without eliminating the Islamic boarding school identity.
