Abstract

The revitalization of Islamic education based on the culture of the archipelago is a strategic response to the challenges of modernization, which tends to ignore local values in the education system. This study aims to examine the integration of local culture in Islamic education practices in Indonesia, focusing on the role of Islamic boarding schools, oral traditions, and the contributions of traditional leaders and scholars in shaping the character of students. The method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of literature studies, interviews, and limited observations in representative regions, namely Banten, Central Java, and Aceh. The novelty of this study lies in its integrative approach between Islamic education, local culture, and social communities, which has not been widely explored in contemporary Islamic education studies. The results of the study show that Islamic education that adopts the cultural values of the archipelago can strengthen a moderate, tolerant, and contextual Islamic identity. The theoretical and practical implications of this study point to the development of a contextual curriculum, teacher training based on local culture, and collaboration between educational institutions and cultural communities. Thus, Islamic education based on Nusantara culture has the potential to become an important foundation in shaping a generation that is characterful, cultured, and able to respond to the challenges of globalization without losing its traditional roots.
