Ahmad Fauzi, Suheri, Bayu Fermadi — Wed, 03 Jul 2024 09:11:54 +0700

This research aims to interpret the value system built by pesantren and its existence as social capital. It is believed to inspire, influence, and mobilize individual social actions and behavior in society. Thus, this research employed a qualitative approach through Pierre Bourdieu’s social practice theory regarding practice (action and behavior) as the outcome of the interaction between an individual’s habitus and available capital within a specific domain/field. It produces a grounded theory to provide a holistic and comprehensive understanding. This research practically shows some findings. First, pesantren values result from creating creative individuals based on the logic of thought and scientific genealogy of kiai based on their understanding of various Islamic texts, which then inspire the formation of a value system. Second, the existence of these values is made into a shared belief and transmitted within the pesantren institution so that, in the end, it becomes part of the pesantren tradition. Third, the habitualization of pesantren values is understood as social capital and can be used as a core value in building a moderate Islamic education model. So, it then shapes the character or attitude of tawassuth, tawāzun, tasāmuh, tahadhdhur, musāwah, i'tidāl, al-Islāh, tathawur wa Ibtikār, and shurā, according to the typology of each pesantren.

The results also showed that Islamic boarding school regulations and culture positively influence students' character formation. Self-competences, both academic and social, also have a significant influence. This finding means that increased self-efficacy makes students more independent and confident in facing challenges. Progress increases academic motivation and self-confidence, while social skills strengthen positive interactions and create empathy and tolerance attitudes.
