Contribution of Islamic Boarding Schools in the Development and Research of Science and Technology: Literature Review on the Integration of Islamic and Scientific Knowledge in Islamic Boarding School Educational Institutions
Abstract
Islamic boarding schools as traditional Islamic educational institutions have undergone significant transformation in responding to the challenges of the modern era, especially in the fields of science and technology. This study aims to explore the contribution of Islamic boarding schools to the development and research of science and technology through a library research approach. By reviewing academic literature, policy documents, and previous research results, this study maps the integration model between Islamic and scientific knowledge that has developed in Islamic boarding school environments.
The results of the study indicate that Islamic boarding schools not only play a role as centers for the transmission of religious values, but have also begun to develop an interdisciplinary approach that combines Islamic spirituality with modern scientific thinking. This contribution is seen in the efforts to Islamize science, develop an integrative curriculum, and implement appropriate technology based on Islamic values in the lives of students. Islamic boarding schools such as the RMI-NU Technology Boarding School, the Darul Ihsan Science Boarding School, and the Daarut Tauhid Eco-Boarding School have become examples of real practices of this integration.
However, this contribution still faces structural challenges such as limited human resources, minimal access to the latest technology, and lack of national policy support focused on Islamic boarding school research. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening the role of Islamic boarding schools as centers of interdisciplinary research through collaboration with universities, increasing teacher capacity, and reforming Islamic education policies. This study emphasizes that Islamic boarding schools have great potential to not only preserve the heritage of Islamic knowledge, but also become the driving force for technological innovation rooted in Islamic values.
