The focus is on enhancing educational quality and reforming governance to meet the evolving demands of society and educational standards. A qualitative case study approach was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and analysis of institutional documents to gather comprehensive data on internal processes and structural changes. Findings reveal that transformation at Tebuireng is largely driven by the leadership’s growing awareness of the importance of educational quality and community expectations for graduates who are both religiously grounded and academically proficient. A key factor in this shift is the transition from a charismatic leadership style to a collective-delegative model. This change has fostered a more professional and innovative governance system and enhanced the recruitment and training of competent human resources. As a result, the school has witnessed improved graduate quality, rising public interest, and a stronger reputation as an adaptive, quality-focused pesantren. The study underscores the significance of participatory leadership and institutional responsiveness in pesantren modernization. The governance shift has enabled Tebuireng to maintain traditional Islamic values while adopting professional educational practices. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of institutional transformation and participatory leadership in Islamic education. Practically, it offers a replicable model for other pesantren seeking modernization without compromising core religious principles.","PeriodicalId":515926,"journal":{"name":"AL-ISHLAH: Jurnal Pendidikan","volume":"17 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://journal.staihubbulwathan.id/index.php/alishlah/article/download/7685/3007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147882927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The focus is on understanding how pesantren can adapt and thrive in the evolving educational landscape. Utilizing a qualitative approach, this literature review examines various sources related to pesantren education management reforms and transformation strategies implemented in several Indonesian pesantren. The study systematically analyzes existing literature to identify key themes and insights. The findings reveal significant challenges faced by pesantren, including outdated management practices, limited resources, and resistance to change. However, several pesantren have successfully implemented transformation strategies such as curriculum modernization, the integration of technology in teaching, and the development of partnerships with external educational institutions. These strategies have significantly improved the competitiveness and relevance of these institutions. The study highlights the critical role of stakeholders, including educators, administrators, and policymakers, in driving the reform process. Effective leadership, community involvement, and continuous professional development are identified as crucial factors in achieving successful transformations. The insights gained underscore the importance of adaptive and innovative approaches in education management to meet contemporary demands.

Additionally, understanding the factors that influence teachers' willingness and ability to embrace these roles within the context of an emancipated curriculum remains largely unexplored. Thus, this research aims to discover teachers’ role in implementing problem-based learning in the Emancipated Curriculum. This qualitative case study employed an interview to one English honorarium teacher as the main instrument, which covered the questions regarding teacher’s understanding and practice of the teacher’s role in problem-based learning. Through thematic analysis, the study revealed that, in general, the teacher’s role is in line with the previous related study, theory, and the goals of the Emancipated Curriculum in which the role of the teacher is: as the facilitator, evaluator, and guide.
