Abstract

This research is a sociological study of education that discusses the meaning of symbols in Islamic boarding school alumni in the process of developing Islamic education in Jember. So the topic in this research is to discuss the meaning of the Moro' symbol in the alumni organization of Islamic boarding schools, namely IKSASS Rayon Jember in the process of developing Islamic education in Jember. The purpose of this study is to determine the meaning of Moro' among IKSASS Rayon Jember in the development of Islamic education in Jember. This study uses the theory of Meaning from George Herbert Mead in the book Mind, Self, and Society. The method used in this study is qualitative with an Ethnographic approach. The data collection process used in this study is observation, interviews, and documentation. The selection of informants in this study was carried out using a purposive sampling technique. The results of this study indicate that the meaning of Moro' among Islamic boarding school alumni has an influence on the development of Islamic education in Jember. The Moro' symbol which was originally a saying from Kiai As'ad has now become a value that becomes the character or identity of the members of Rayon IKSASS Jember. In the process of its interpretation, Moro' experienced a shift in meaning caused by the social dynamics surrounding the members of the IKSASS Jember Rayon. Consequently, there are two meanings of Moro' in the process of developing Islamic education in Jember: Moro' in the form of teaching and Moro' in the form of providing support. Therefore, in the process of implementing the meaning of Moro' in the development of Islamic education, there are two types of activities carried out by alumni: conducting teaching and learning activities and establishing educational institutions.
