Contribution of University Partner Islamic Boarding Schools in Maintaining Moral Values in Banyumas Indonesia

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools, as educational institutions and religious institutions, contribute to maintaining community morals (moral guardians) within the Islamic boarding school environment. This is based on the reality that Islamic boarding schools are religious educational institutions that have basic values as a moral foundation for society in responding to social changes that occur. It is hoped that the religious cultures that emerge from Islamic boarding schools can be an antithesis to the moral degradation of urban society, which is caused by several things, including the influence of massive technological developments and urbanization in cities such as Purwokerto. This research aims to analyze the contribution of the UIN Saizu Purwokerto partner Islamic boarding school in maintaining community morals in Banyumas Regency. Using qualitative research methods, this research explores various educational programs and social activities implemented by Islamic boarding schools. The results of the research show that Islamic boarding schools play an important role in instilling moral values and Islamic teachings, as well as shaping the positive character of students. The approach used in teaching, which includes a relevant curriculum and daily life based on religious values, contributes significantly to increasing moral awareness in society. In addition, interactions between Islamic boarding schools and local communities strengthen social relations and create an environment that supports the practice of moral life. This research confirms the important role of Islamic boarding schools as agents of change in the moral formation of society in the modern era.
