This book is about the process of curriculum
development in two different pesantrens (Islamic
boarding schools) in Indonesia. Pesantren is regarded
as an indigenous educational institution in the
country which characterizes itself with a unique
approach to the schooling system. The strong charisma
and power of the kyai (grand principal), the
obedience culture of his santris (disciples), the
application of Islamic values in their daily life,
and their ability to adapt to changes are amongst the
characteristics of pesantren. Pesantren constitutes a
sub-culture within the whole of Indonesian culture.
This book, in short, describes the dynamic process at
the two different--traditional and modern--pesantrens
in developing their own educational curriculum,
programs, and instruction. It further depicts the
embedded and unique culture, beliefs and values
overwhelming the interactions amongst the pesantren
community. This book in many ways is distinct from
other works on Indonesian pesantren.
