Pandangan Santri terhadap Penerapan Metode Sorogan dalam Pembelajaran Kitab Sullamut Taufiq di Pondok Pesantren Al-Musyarakat

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren) as traditional Islamic educational institutions continue to preserve the sorogan method as a distinctive approach to understanding classical Islamic texts (kitab kuning), including Sullamut Taufiq, which contains teachings on jurisprudence, creed, and ethics. This study was motivated by the need to understand students’ perceptions of the effectiveness of the sorogan method amid the growing digitalization of education. The research aims to explore how students interpret the sorogan method in learning Sullamut Taufiq, identify factors influencing their perceptions, and reveal the supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. Using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving the caregivers, teachers (ustadz), and students at Pondok Pesantren Al-Musyarokat. The findings indicate that students have a positive perception of the sorogan method due to its personal, corrective, and in-depth approach, although challenges such as long waiting times and limited Arabic proficiency remain. Internal factors such as learning motivation and mastery of linguistic tools influence student perceptions, while external factors include teacher attitudes, implementation systems, and the pesantren learning environment. This study concludes that the sorogan method remains relevant and effective as both a learning medium and a means of character formation, provided it is supported by effective time management and adaptive pedagogical practices.
