Pesantren as Heart Knowledge Management

Abstract

It is the oldest educational institution in Indonesia that existed before 1945, but today it is being driven to the development of a formal educational institution born into the European education system. Formal institutions of education are so focused on building up the potential of human mind that they ignore the potential of the heart. The paper was exploring how education in Pesantrens remained to build up the potential of the human heart through the management of knowledge based on Islam. The research method of string studies is used to describe how the teaching of good that is theoretically given at school has been carried out and developed in the propagation of pesantren for centuries through the management of knowledge of the heart. Wisdom in the mind, word and deed are the objectives of the management based on spiritual values without bounds. Pesantren builds a sense of night, life, and humanity that in time clears the heart up as the mind control of humans who create, share, use and manage knowledge and information.
