Abstract

This study aims to analyze the transformation of pesantren-based character education through the

Santri Kalpataru Program at the Nurul Jadid Islamic Boarding School, particularly in the Al-
Hasyimiyah area. The background of this study is based on the urgent need to instill values of

environmental awareness, social solidarity, and moral consciousness among santri in facing
environmental damage and social change. In fact, on average, every day there are around 10
students who are less concerned about the environment, around 15 students tend to focus on
individual interests, and there are around 12 students who have minimal moral awareness. This
study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection was conducted through
in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation collection, which were then
analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and verification techniques to produce
conclusions. The results of this study show that the Santri Kalpataru Program is effective in
internalizing environmental values through various routine activities such as maintaining the
cleanliness of the boarding school, waste management, and reforestation. Field observations also
show behavioral shifts in daily ecological habits, including a decrease in littering and increased
student participation in maintaining the dormitory environment. Collaboration among santri also
builds solidarity that strengthens the ecological culture around the pesantren. This demonstrates
that environmental awareness is part of a religious commitment. In addition, santri involvement in
community-based activities also increases social awareness and a sense of collective responsibility.
This study concludes that pesantren-based character education can be an integrative model for
combining religious values, ecological learning, and social character building. These findings have
implications for the development of Islamic education theory that is more contextual and relevant

to global issues, as well as providing recommendations for the development of an environment-
based curriculum in Islamic boarding schools.
