PROGRAM TA’HIL SEBAGAI UPAYA PENGEMBANGAN KUALITAS PENGAJAR DI PONDOK PESANTREN FADLILLAH

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Limited teacher readiness before conducting learning activities is one of the challenges in developing teacher quality in pesantren settings. This condition indicates the need for internal development programs that provide teachers with subject knowledge, mentoring, and practical experience before they undertake teaching responsibilities. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Ta’hil Program at Fadlillah Islamic Boarding School, the forms of teacher development provided, supporting and inhibiting factors, and its role in teacher quality development. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings show that the Ta’hil Program serves as a preparatory stage for teachers before teaching for one semester through material provision and deepening, guidance, mentoring, and knowledge and experience transfer from senior teachers. Supporting factors include clear objectives, prepared materials, senior teacher involvement, experience transfer, and preparation time, while inhibiting factors include limited teachers with expertise in Science, Mathematics, and Islamic Astronomy. The program supports teacher preparation and professional development through collaborative learning and stronger subject mastery before classroom instruction.

ABSTRAK

Keterbatasan kesiapan pengajar sebelum melaksanakan pembelajaran menjadi salah satu persoalan dalam pengembangan kualitas pengajar di lingkungan pesantren. Kondisi tersebut menunjukkan perlunya pembinaan internal yang memberikan bekal materi, pendampingan, dan pengalaman kepada pengajar sebelum menjalankan tugas mengajar. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan pelaksanaan Program Ta’hil di Pondok Pesantren Fadlillah, bentuk pembinaan, faktor pendukung dan penghambat, serta perannya dalam pengembangan kualitas pengajar. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Data diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif Miles, Huberman, dan Saldaña melalui kondensasi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan dan verifikasi kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Program Ta’hil dilaksanakan sebagai tahap persiapan pengajar sebelum mengajar selama satu semester melalui pemberian dan pendalaman materi, pengarahan, pendampingan, serta transfer pengetahuan dan pengalaman dari pengajar senior. Faktor pendukung meliputi kejelasan tujuan, kesiapan materi, keterlibatan pengajar senior, transfer pengalaman, dan waktu persiapan, sedangkan penghambatnya adalah keterbatasan pengajar pada bidang IPA, Matematika, dan Ilmu Falak. Program Ta’hil berperan dalam mempersiapkan pengajar dan mendukung pengembangan profesional melalui budaya belajar antarpengajar serta memperkuat penguasaan materi sebelum pembelajaran di kelas.
