INTRODUCTION
As a country with a majority Muslim population, Indonesia has a unique educational system known as pesantren (Ma'rifah, 2015).Pesantren is a distinct phenomenon in Indonesia due to its rapidly evolving educational model, which is scarcely found in other countries (F, 2021).The uniqueness of pesantren encompasses special characteristics such as kyai (Islamic scholars), santri (students), pondok (Islamic boarding schools), kitab kuning (classical Islamic texts), and mosques (Haedari, 2007).Islamic education in pesantren is considered an indigenous product of Indonesia, even referred to as the "father" of Islamic education in the country (Mahdi, 2013).
With this distinctiveness and uniqueness, pesantren has become the focus of study from various perspectives, ranging from general to specific (Solichin, 2014).One dominant approach in this research is through the analysis of pesantren history using a periodic model.However, when associated with its role and contribution in the context of Indonesian identity, periodization studies tend to be general.Nevertheless, it is acknowledged that pesantren plays an extraordinary role and contribution to the success of education in Indonesia (Bani, 2015).
Pesantren is regarded as an institution that serves as the center for community transformation through Islamic preaching efforts.However, the importance of this institution is not only reflected in the transformation of Islamic thought and explanations for the santri, but also in the development of individuals and the advancement of community groups (Amin, 2019).
Consistent with Muhtaron's viewpoint, the educational goal in pesantren is not merely to enrich the knowledge of santri with Islamic texts and explanations, but further aims to enhance morality, instill spirit, foster appreciation for spiritual and human values, shape honest and moral attitudes and behaviors, and prepare santri to lead simple and sincere lives (Muhtaron, 2002).
Pesantren, as a traditional Islamic educational institution in Indonesia, has a rich and long history.The origins of pesantren can be traced back to the spread of Islam in the archipelago during the 13th to 14th centuries AD.The establishment of pesantren during that period was in line with the mission of spreading Islam by scholars and Walisongo (Aly, 2011).In the early period, pesantren functioned as centers of Islamic learning that provided education on the Qur'an, hadith, fiqh, and tafsir.Pesantren is often associated with activities such as memorization of the Qur'an and the application of Islamic teachings in daily life.The development of pesantren is also closely related to the journey and teachings of prominent scholars who contributed to the development of Islamic knowledge (Idris, 2013).
Pesantren is one of the oldest types of Islamic educational institutions in Indonesia.These schools have proven to have significant impacts in various aspects of national life, from resistance to colonialism during the kingdom era.Islamic boarding schools played an important role during the independence period as educational institutions that provided fresh perspectives on the current modern education system (Junaidi, 2017) .
During the Dutch colonial period, pesantren remained a stronghold of Islamic culture and religion.Several pesantren actively participated in resistance movements against the colonizers, demonstrating the significant role of pesantren in Indonesia's independence struggle (Hasibuan, 2015).After Indonesia's independence, pesantren continued to evolve and adapt to the changing times.Some pesantren began integrating religious education with the national curriculum, while others maintained classical teaching traditions (Jaya, 2017).In the modern era, pesantren also engage in various social activities and community empowerment initiatives (Bruinessen, 1995).
With the advancement of technology and globalization, pesantren now face new challenges in integrating tradition with contemporary demands (Haningsih, 2008).Some pesantren have innovated by utilizing information technology to enhance the quality of education, while others remain steadfast in their traditional approaches.Nevertheless, pesantren continue to play a crucial role in shaping character, providing religious education, and preserving Islamic heritage in Indonesia (Syafe'i, 2017).
