Edupreneurship and Pesantren Management: Forming a Multi-Skilled Muslim Character in the Era of Globalization

Abstract

The high need for graduates who are not only competent, but also have life skills and economic independence is the biggest challenge in the current era of globalization, including pesantren. This means that pesantren is required to obey and produce graduates who are not only religious but also adaptive to global demands. For this reason, this study aims to examine how the management of eduprenuership applied at the Tarbiyatul Muallimien Al-Islamiyah (TMI) Al-Amien Prenduan and its implications can shape the character of multi-skilled Muslims in the era of globalization. This research is a qualitative research using an individual case study type approach. Data collection was carried out by interviews, observations and documentation. Then the data was analyzed by interactive analysis using the Miles, Huberman and Saldana models, including data condensation, data presentation and conclusions and verification. Meanwhile, data checks are carried out by triangulating sources and triangulating techniques. This research resulted in two conclusions. First, the management of Islamic boarding school edupreneurship in TMI consists of four components which include, competency-based edupreneurship planning and pesantren values, implementation of edupreneurship based on pesantren values, evaluation of edupreneurship based on pesantren standards and follow-up actions based on pesantren development. Second, the implications of edupreneurship management form students with four skills, including skills in mu'amalah ma'a Allah, skills in mu'amalah ma'a al-nafsi, skills in mu'amalah ma'a al-nas and skills in mu'amalah ma'a al-alam wa al-bi'ah. Therefore, further research is recommended to conduct comparative studies on several Islamic boarding schools and use a quantitative or mixed method approach to strengthen generalization and measure the long-term impact of Islamic boarding school edupreneurship management.
