Transforming Pesantren Education: Digital Integration and Value-Based Curriculum Optimization

This study explores the optimization of curriculum management in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) through an educational transformation approach in the digital era. As traditional pesantren face the dual challenge of preserving their time-honored Islamic values while adapting to rapid technological advancements, this literature review identifies strategies for integrating digital tools into curriculum practices effectively. The findings indicate that optimizing pesantren education requires a multifaceted approach: integrating e-learning platforms and online resources, enhancing digital competencies among both students and educators, adopting blended learning models that harmonize traditional and modern methods, and embedding core Islamic values into the digital curriculum. By addressing infrastructural challenges and cultivating value-based digital literacy, this transformation can increase educational accessibility and teaching effectiveness, ensuring that pesantren remain relevant and resilient in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
