Abstract

DEVELOPING THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT OF STUDENTS THROUGH THE BSM WATER ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAM AT THE BABUSSALAM MULYOHARJO ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL

This study examines the role of the BSM Water entrepreneurship program at Pondok Pesantren Babussalam Mulyoharjo as an effort to develop the independence and entrepreneurial spirit of the students. The background of this research stems from the shift in the orientation of modern pesantrens, which not only emphasize mastery of religious knowledge but also require students to possess life skills to face economic challenges. This topic is interesting because it demonstrates the integration of religious education with practical learning through business units managed directly by the students. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on pesantren-based entrepreneurship practices that not only generate economic profits but also instill moral values, discipline, and responsibility. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach, where data was collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation with caregivers, managers, and students involved in BSM Water. The research findings indicate that students' involvement in the processes of production, distribution, and marketing can enhance technical skills, work ethic, managerial abilities, and foster independent and responsible character. In addition to providing economic impact for the pesantren, this program also contributes to shaping students who are ready to face the business world. This study recommends strengthening production facilities, management and digital marketing training, as well as replicating this business model in other pesantrens as an effort for economic empowerment based on Islamic values.
