Value Internalization, Sincerity, Simplicity, Self-RelianceAbstract
This study aims to examine the process of internalizing the values of sincerity, simplicity, and self-reliancein the education of santri at Raudhatul Hasanah Islamic Boarding School, Medan. These three values constitute the main pillars of the pesantren educational tradition and have long proven capable of shaping santri character holistically. However, in the era of massive globalization and digitalization, the relevance and effectiveness of internalizing these values face increasingly complex challenges. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with pesantren leaders, ustaz/ustazah, and santri, as well as documentation of pesantren educational programs. The data were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and saldana models. The findings show that: (1) the internalization of sincerity at Pesantren Raudhatul Hasanah is carried out through integration into the classical Islamic text (kitab kuning) curriculum, modeling through the kyai's exemplary conduct, and habituation through daily spiritual rituals; (2) the value of simplicity is internalized through regulations on dress codes, consumption patterns, and structured dormitory life management; and (3) the value of self-reliance is developed through a system of individual responsibility, santri entrepreneurship programs, and active involvement in pesantren management. These three internalization processes operate synergistically and shape santri character that is resilient, adaptive, and grounded in a strong Islamic identity. The findings of this study contribute to the development of a pesantren value-based model of character education that is relevant to the context of contemporary Islamic education.
