Beyond Memorization: Character Internalization of Santri through the Talaqqi Method in Islamic Boarding Schools
Keywords:
Talaqqi method, character education, Islamic boarding school, beyond memorizationAbstract
This study explores the effectiveness of the talaqqi method not only as a traditional approach to Qur’anic learning but also as a medium for character internalization among santri in Islamic boarding schools. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 21 purposively selected informants, including school leaders, teachers, and students. Data analysis was conducted through thematic analysis supported by NVivo 12 software, enabling the identification of recurring themes and patterns in the process of character formation. The findings indicate that the application of the talaqqi method in character development unfolds through three systematic stages: i) planning, which involves the formulation of objectives, materials, schedules, implementation teams, and supporting media; ii) implementation, consisting of pre-implementation (administrative preparation), core implementation (active teacher–student interaction, varied teaching strategies), and post-implementation (evaluation and follow-up); and iii) evaluation, which assesses the effectiveness of the method in enhancing discipline, responsibility, manners, worship, and independence, though with varied outcomes. This study concludes that the talaqqi method demonstrates significant potential as a relevant instrument for character education in modern pesantren contexts and provides an empirical foundation for further research in broader Islamic education settings.
