Reconstruction of Islamic Boarding Schools: Curriculum, Management and Educational Ethics Perspective of KH. Imam Zarkasyi

As a form of Islamic education in Indonesia, the existence of Islamic boarding schools as Islamic educational institutions with advantages both in terms of scientific tradition and in terms of transmission and intensity of Muslims is threatened by the current of globalization.

This article attempts to reconstruct the thoughts of one Islamic education figure (KH. Imam Zarkasyi) regarding the renewal of Islamic boarding schools as traditional Islamic educational institutions. The extent to which the concepts of this figure can be used as a model for modernizing traditional Islamic educational philosophy to suit the demands of Muslim society's modernization process would require further research. This study only discusses his concepts for reforming curricula, strengthening institutional administration, and promoting Islamic boarding school principles. KH. Imam Zarkasyi developed a number of his main concepts in light of the literature review. First of all, he asserted that the Islamic education curriculum emphasized modern science in addition to religious knowledge, necessitating that student be proficient in both Arabic and English. Secondly, in order to fortify Islamic boarding schools, it is imperative to enhance the institutional management of these establishments and oversee waqf in a reliable and contemporary manner. In the third section, he highlighted the importance of sincerity, simplicity, independence, ukhuwah, and freedom in the development of Islamic boarding school ideals.

DEFINITION OF THE RECONSTRUCTION METHOD OF A PUBLIC BUILDING OR STRUCTURE

A systematic approach to the organization and management of various types of work within a particular industry is what makes the research relevant, including the creation of a well-established method for selecting methodological solutions. The various industries that make up the structure of the national economy have certain distinctive features. Construction, as one of the most complex industries from an organizational and technological point of view, is of particular interest to study. The various types and areas of activity in its composition define narrow areas of research. The definition of the reconstruction method as an integral part of the organizational and technological system is a serious and urgent task of urban planning. The construction of new buildings and structures for cultural, educational purposes and spiritual and ethical education is currently carried out much less frequently than residential buildings. Accordingly, it is often necessary to reconstruct buildings and structures that have already been built. The reconstruction process includes a significant number of types of work, has its own specifics that distinguish it from new construction. The choice of the method of reconstruction of a public building or structure involves making decisions based on the established tasks for each specific object of reconstruction. The article considers the concept of reconstruction, systematizes the tasks of reconstruction of public buildings and structures, develops an algorithm for choosing a reconstruction method, and considers the factors that determine decision-making at certain stages of work.

Public Administration Ethics Education to Build Anti-Corruption Integrity among Students of SMP N 13 Padang

The high level of corruption, which has become a pathology in developing countries, especially Indonesia, is evidenced by the 2022 international transparency data, which scored 34/100 and ranked 110 out of 180 surveyed countries. Indonesia ranks as the 5th most corrupt country in Southeast Asia. With these results, Indonesia has only been able to increase its Corruption Perception Index (CPI) score by 2 points from 32 over the past decade since 2012. Despite Law No. 20 of 2001's eradication of corruption, which covers various aspects, related to anti-corruption efforts, including education and anti-corruption socialization, this pathology remains unresolved. Therefore, a strong foundation is needed, especially among the younger generation as the nation's future leaders, by strengthening students' character regarding integrity and courage against corruption. This community engagement used socialization, interviews with school members, and participatory observation within the school environment. The concept of public administration ethics serves as the basis for this activity. The results showed that anti-corruption education through the perspective of public administration at SMP N 13 Padang plays a significant role in shaping students' integrity and courage in combating corruption. As adolescents, students are in the process of forming moral values and behaviors. Thus, anti-corruption education interventions can significantly impact shaping their character. Students improved their understanding of corruption and developed a more courageous attitude and strong integrity. The results provided valuable insights and a foundation for further improvement in anti-corruption education in middle schools.
