Abstract
This is part of research result from a Ph.D thesis
which is submitted to Flinders University South Australia. This is a study
about the Acehnese dayah salafi and its recent change and development, both in
general and in the light of messages from the government about the need for
standardisation and regulation of the studies of these Islamic educational
institutions. Through a qualitative case study of a purposively selected dayah
salafi in Aceh province, Indonesia, this research tried to find how
standardising or regulating might affect dayah salafi and their teaching
activity. The result is perhaps a kind of snapshot of the current moving
situation. To get a variety of views for this research, data were collected,
using semi-structured interviews, from various dayah salafi people, from a
government departmental officer and from a senior Islamic educational
researcher. The research also used other sources of data such as general
observation and documents related to this study.
