Abstract
This study examines curriculum management at Madrasah Diniyah Miftahul Ulum B-75 in Bondowoso, Indonesia, focusing on the integration of spiritual values into curriculum planning, implementation, and evaluation. Using a qualitative case-study approach, data were collected through interviews, observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that curriculum planning follows the educational structure of the Sidogiri madrasah network through learning levels, prescribed classical Islamic texts, scheduling, and institutional coordination. Curriculum implementation combines bandongan, sorogan, and muraja’ah methods with teachers’ roles as murabbi and regular devotional activities. Evaluation is conducted through examinations, supervision, monitoring, and muhasabah to support learning improvement. Based on these findings, the study proposes spirituality-based curriculum management as a conceptual model integrating spiritual values across all curriculum management stages. The model emphasizes holistic student development encompassing cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and spiritual dimensions. However, further research is needed to examine its applicability across diverse Islamic educational institutions.
