Sustainable curriculum in Qur'an tahfidz education: A case study at Pesantren Al Amin Sindangkasih Ciamis

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of a sustainable curriculum in Qur’an tahfidz education at Pesantren Al Amin Sindangkasih, Ciamis. Utilizing a case study method with a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation analysis. The findings indicate that Pesantren Al Amin has integrated sustainability principles into its tahfidz curriculum by developing teaching materials that are aligned with the local social and cultural context. Additionally, the pesantren applies interactive and participatory teaching methods that encourage students to be actively engaged in the learning process. Nevertheless, the study identifies several challenges in implementation, such as limited resources and a lack of community support. The study concludes that a sustainable curriculum in tahfidz education at Pesantren Al Amin offers a potentially effective model for contextual and relevant Islamic education. Further efforts are needed to address existing challenges to optimize the curriculum’s implementation. This research is expected to contribute to the development of tahfidz education curricula in other Islamic boarding schools.
