Abstract

Islamic boarding school (pesantren) is the oldest educational institution of Islam to survive in Indonesia
(since the 1800s) and it has been legally sanctioned by the Indonesian government. Throughout history, it has
made valuable contribution to the country, example of which ranges from education, dakwah (Islamic
proselytization), to social activities; not to mention its significant role in the fight against colonialism. The
survival ability of Islamic Boarding School indicates the potentials of Islamic boarding schools to be a
breeding place for what is called Adversity Quotient. That is a concept of intelligence, formulated by Paul G.
Stolz, which influences one’s capacity to survive, and is defined by toughness, endurance, ability to withstand
difficulties, and the ability to get out of difficulties in learning, including life. This article wants to examine
Adversity Quotient among students of Islamic boarding school, especially one that is related to the learning
process. This type of research is filed research with a qualitative approach. The data collection method is
done by participatory observation, depth interviews, and documentation. The data validity tests are
confirmability, transferability, reliability and triangulation. The analysis used is intractive analysis. This study
finds out that, according to their Adversity Quotient, there are three types of students in Islamic Boarding
Schools. They are (1). Student Quitters - those who refused to live in the boarding house, (2) Student
Campers - those who tried to stay but failed or did not finish their study, (3) Student Climbers - those who
successfully completed their study in Islamic Boarding Schools. Adversity Quotient of the Islamic Boarding
School’s students can be detected from the initial response of their living in the dormitory, their lifestyle,
their learning environment, their response to change, their contribution, language, and ability to overcome
difficulties.
