Self-confidence is an essential aspect that must be cultivated to instill confidence in santri (Islamic boarding school students) so they can speak comfortably in front of a large audience. One effective method to boost self-confidence is through muhadharah training, which encourages santri to speak publicly. Muhadharah is a common practice in religious centers, particularly in Islamic boarding schools.
This research aims to investigate the implementation of muhadharah activities in enhancing the self-confidence of santri at Ma’had Al-Muqoddasah Middle School, Nglumpang, Mlarak, Ponorogo. The research employs a qualitative method that provides a comprehensive descriptive overview. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. Primary data is obtained through observation and interviews, while secondary data is gathered from books, archives, and relevant articles. The data analysis follows Miles and Huberman's model, involving data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions/verification.
The results of this research indicate the following 1) The implementation of muhadharah activities at Ma’had Al-Muqoddasah to enhance self-confidence comprises three stages: a) preparation, which involves preparing materials, wearing neat uniforms, providing guidance, and group assignments; b) execution, including an opening by the master of ceremonies (MC), singing the hymn, Quran recitation (qori), muhadharah, poetry recitation, and entertainment; c) evaluation, conducted by providing feedback, suggestions, and notifying the responsible personnel for the following week. 2) The outcomes of muadharah at Ma’had Al-Muqoddasah include expressing opinions and engaging in activities without hesitation, not giving up or feeling discouraged, acting confidently and decisively, demonstrating self-assurance in their abilities, displaying courage, self-control, resilience, positive thinking, and strong self-belief. 3) Factors influencing muhadharah at Ma’had Al-Muqoddasah encompass a) supporting factors, such as the presence of regulations, environmental factors, supportive facilities, and the awareness of responsible personnel or ustads (religious teachers); b) inhibiting factors, including a busy schedule that leads to complaints among the santri.
