REVITALISASI PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM UNTUK PEMBERDAYAAN SANTRI DAN MASYARAKAT (STUDI KASUS DI PONDOK PESANTREN ASKHABUL KAHFI SEMARANG)NIM.: 21304012003Muhamad Rikza SaputroauthorThis research is motivated by contemporary educational and social problems, including moral and character crises, social individualism, technological disruption, intolerance, and the weakening social function of Islamic Religious Education in modern society. These conditions require revitalizing Islamic Religious Education so it remains relevant to current developments and addresses socio-religious challenges. In this context, Askhabul Kahfi Islamic Boarding School revitalizes Islamic Religious Education through curriculum strengthening, learning, character building, economic empowerment, socio-religious da'wah, and religious moderation. This research aims to analyze the construction, implementation, and theoretical and practical implications of this revitalization toward student and community empowerment. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type. Data was collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research subjects included Islamic boarding school administrators, religious teachers (ustadz), students, alumni, community leaders, student guardians, and community members around the Islamic boarding school. Data analysis used the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña through data condensation, data presentation, conclusion drawing, and data verification. Data validity was assessed through triangulation, member checking, observation diligence, peer debriefing, and an audit trail. The results of the study indicate that: (1) the construction of the revitalization of Islamic Religious Education is built through the socio-cultural system of Islamic boarding schools, the exemplary role of kiai and ustadz, internalization of Islamic Religious Education values, and the social construction process in the form of externalization, objectivation, and internalization; (2) the implementation of revitalization is realized through the integration of formal and diniyah curriculum, revitalized learning methods, character education, economic empowerment, socio-religious da'wah, and religious moderation based on Islamic boarding school culture; and (3) the revitalization of Islamic Religious Education provides theoretical and practical implications in the form of strengthening student character, social piety, economic independence, religious moderation, and socioreligious transformation of society. Based on these findings, this study found that revitalization at the Askhabul Kahfi Islamic Boarding School in Semarang occurs through the integration of educational functions, character building, economic empowerment, community da'wah, and religious moderation, constructed through Islamic boarding school culture and the exemplary role of kiai. These findings led to a Revitalization Model for Islamic Religious Education Based on Islamic Boarding Schools, integrating education, character building, economic empowerment, community outreach, and religious moderation into a framework that empowers students and the community.297.77 Pendidikan Agama Islam (Sekolah Islam, Pondok Pesantren, TPA, TPQ)2026-07-01UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS ILMU TARBIYAH DAN KEGURUANThesis
