Abstract

This study aims to examine the character formation of Generation Z through the implementation of the Santri Trilogy in the context of modern Islamic education in the Zaid bin Tsabit (K) area of Nurul Jadid Islamic Boarding School. The approach used is qualitative, with data collection conducted through observation, interviews with boarding school administrators, foster parents, alumni, and students, as well as documentation of learning activities.

The results of the study indicate that the process of internalizing the values of the Santri Trilogy—which includes fulfilling individual obligations (fardhu 'ain), maintaining self-awareness to avoid major sins, and practicing noble behavior toward Allah and His creation—enhances students' active involvement in learning, develops their information literacy skills, and encourages a shift from passive to active learning patterns. Furthermore, the findings show that the educational process in Islamic boarding schools takes place comprehensively by integrating cognitive, affective, and spiritual aspects tailored to the characteristics of Generation Z. The collaborative and value-based environment of the boarding school further reinforces positive behavioral changes among students. Overall, this study emphasizes that integrating religious values with an active learning approach serves as an effective model for developing an adaptive, critical, and morally upright generation.
