Konstruksi Kurikulum Entrepreneurship Berbasis Pesantren dalam Membentuk Kemandirian Santri

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the construction of a pesantren-based entrepreneurship curriculum in fostering students’ independence at Rumah Qur’an Permata Ilmu, as a response to the need for integrating Islamic values with entrepreneurial skills in the modern era. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design to gain an in-depth and contextual understanding of the phenomenon. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, involving participants such as institutional leaders, curriculum managers, educators, and students selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with validity ensured through triangulation and member checking. The findings reveal that the entrepreneurship curriculum is constructed integratively through three main components: value-based, knowledge-based, and skill-based elements. The curriculum is implemented using an experiential learning approach, emphasizing hands-on practices such as import activities, technical skills training, and basic financial management. The results indicate that this approach enhances students’ independence, creativity, decision-making abilities, and self-confidence in entrepreneurship. In conclusion, the construction of a pesantren-based entrepreneurship curriculum contributes significantly to the development of an integrative educational model relevant to contemporary needs. The implications highlight the importance of strengthening value- and practice-based curricula in Islamic education, as well as opening opportunities for further research on similar models in other pesantren contexts.
