Integrating Academic and Enterpreneurial Skills to Strenght Translation Learning at Baitul Kilmah Islmaic Boarding School

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines the learning method of the classical Islamic book (so-called Kitab Kuning) using a translation that helps optimize the link-and-match function between the education and industry. This study rejects the common assumptions that the learning of Kitab Kuning has been seen as a phenomenon separate from the market’s demands, especially in the book publishing industry.

Design/methods/approach – This type of research is qualitative, with a critical ethnographic approach. The data was collected through in-depth interview and documentation techniques, including insights from caregivers, administrators, teachers, and alumni.

Findings – This study’s findings are as follows: the integration of Kitab Kuning learning with a translation method enhances the effectiveness of the government's link-and-match program. This approach aligns with the overarching vision of the Baitul Kilmah Creative Islamic Boarding School, which emphasizes literacy and economic independence. The findings of this study serve to augment extant scientific research on Kitab Kuning learning.
