TRANSFORMASI MANAJEMEN PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DALAM ERA DIGITAL: STUDI KASUS PONDOK PESANTREN

Abstract

The digital transformation in Islamic education has become an urgent necessity in response to technological advancements. Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren) face challenges in integrating technology into their learning and management systems while maintaining Islamic values. This study aims to analyze the implementation of digitalization in pesantren education, the challenges encountered, and the strategies that can be applied to optimize the use of technology. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data was collected through interviews, observations, and literature studies. The findings indicate that digitalization in pesantren education includes technology-based administration, online learning, and the use of social media for dakwah and communication. However, challenges such as limited infrastructure, the readiness of human resources, and difficulties in preserving traditional values remain significant obstacles. Therefore, strategies such as strengthening digital infrastructure, enhancing technological literacy for educators and students, and fostering collaboration with external parties are essential to support pesantren digitalization. With the right approach, digitalization can effectively enhance the quality of Islamic education in the modern era while preserving its fundamental values
