Analisis Strategi Peningkatan Prestasi dan Motivasi Belajar Santri melalui Program I’dad Kitab di Pondok Pesantren Mambaul Ulum Bata-Bata Panaan Pamekasan

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi rendahnya kemampuan santri dalam membaca dan memahami kitab kuning yang dipengaruhi oleh keterbatasan penguasaan nahwu, sharaf, dan pembacaan teks Arab tanpa harakat. Sebagai upaya mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, Pondok Pesantren Mambaul Ulum Bata-Bata Pamekasan menyelenggarakan Program I’dad Kitab. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis strategi peningkatan prestasi dan motivasi belajar santri melalui program tersebut.
Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis deskriptif. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi yang melibatkan pengurus pesantren, pembimbing asrama, dan santri. Analisis data dilakukan melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan, sedangkan keabsahan data diuji menggunakan triangulasi sumber dan teknik.
Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan prestasi belajar santri dilakukan melalui penguatan materi dasar nahwu, sharaf, dan membaca kitab, latihan memahami makna teks, evaluasi rutin, serta pendampingan belajar di asrama. Peningkatan motivasi belajar dilakukan melalui penyediaan lingkungan belajar yang kondusif, pendampingan berkelanjutan, penguatan hubungan sosial, pemberian penghargaan, dan pengembangan potensi santri. Faktor pendukung program meliputi dukungan pengurus pesantren, ustaz, pembimbing asrama, tradisi belajar kitab, sarana belajar, dan semangat santri. Adapun faktor penghambat meliputi perbedaan kemampuan dasar santri, kedisiplinan yang belum merata, keterbatasan waktu, rasa lelah, serta kesulitan memahami kaidah bahasa Arab. Hambatan tersebut diatasi melalui pembinaan tambahan, pengulangan materi, latihan bertahap, evaluasi rutin, dan pendampingan intensif.

This study was undertaken in response to students‟ limited ability to read and comprehend kitab kuning (classical Islamic texts), which is largely influenced by inadequate mastery of nahwu (Arabic syntax), sharaf (Arabic morphology), and the ability to read unvowelled Arabic texts. To address these challenges, Mambaul Ulum Bata-Bata Islamic Boarding School in Pamekasan has implemented the I‟dād al-Kutub Program. This study aims to analyze the strategies employed by the program to enhance students‟ academic achievement and learning motivation.
This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis involving Islamic boarding school administrators, dormitory supervisors, and students. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while the trustworthiness of the findings was established through source and methodological triangulation.
The findings indicate that improvements in students‟ academic achievement are achieved through strengthening foundational competencies in nahwu, sharaf, and kitab reading, providing systematic practice in text comprehension, conducting regular assessments, and offering continuous academic support in the dormitory. Students‟ learning motivation is enhanced through the provision of a conducive learning environment, continuous guidance, strengthened social relationships, recognition of students‟ achievements, and the development of students‟ potential. The success of the program is supported by the commitment of pesantren administrators, ustaz, dormitory supervisors, a strong tradition of kitab learning, adequate learning facilities, and students‟ enthusiasm. Meanwhile, the main challenges include differences in students‟ prior knowledge, inconsistent learning discipline, limited study time, fatigue, and difficulties in understanding Arabic grammatical rules. These challenges are addressed through supplementary instruction, repeated practice, gradual learning activities, continuous assessment, and intensive academic mentoring.
