Management and Implementation of Gusjigang (Bagus, Ngaji, and Dagang) Values in Digital Learning at Pesantren Assa'idiyyah Kudus

Abstract

This study aims to explore and analyze the management and implementation of Gusjigang values (Bagus, Ngaji, and Dagang) in digital learning at the Assa'idiyyah Islamic Boarding School in Kudus. The integration of these values into digital learning management is expected to positively contribute to the development of students' character and skills in the digital era. The literature referenced includes studies on character education in Islamic boarding schools, the management of digital learning, and the incorporation of traditional values into modern education systems. Previous research has highlighted that integrating local values such as Gusjigang can strengthen students' character and competencies to face globalization challenges. This study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis, involving pesantren administrators, ustadz/ustadzah, and students participating in the digital learning program. The findings reveal that effective management of Gusjigang values enhances the implementation process. The "Bagus" (good) value is reflected in students' adherence to digital ethics, the "Ngaji" (learning) value is embodied in the use of technology to deepen religious knowledge, and the "Dagang" (commerce) value is demonstrated through the development of digital entrepreneurship skills. These practices illustrate a balanced management strategy that combines traditional values with modern technological advancements. This study concludes that Gusjigang values can be effectively integrated into the management and implementation of digital learning, fostering students' character development and competitive skills. The findings offer a replicable model for other Islamic boarding schools aiming to adapt to digital learning while preserving traditional values.
