Integrating Entrepreneurship Values in Pesantren Curriculum: Advanced Educational Design for Santri Autonomy

Abstract

The integration of economic self-reliance within faith based institutions remains under explored in educational management. This study aims to analyze the planning, organizing, and evaluating models of an entrepreneurship-based curriculum at Pondok Pesantren Al-Amin Ambulu, Jember. Utilizing a qualitative single-case study design, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participant observations, and documentation, then analyzed via data condensation, display, and verification. The findings reveal that the institution employs a hybrid strategic management model characterized by multi sectoral stakeholder planning, decentralized organizational sub-units promoting student talent autonomy, and a dual-control evaluation system combining spiritual supervision with output accountability. This approach effectively bridges the traditional dichotomy between religious education and economic proficiency. Practically, this study provides an applicable blueprint for policymakers and Islamic education practitioners to design sustainable vocational curricula that foster student independence without compromising core theological values.
