Abstract

The implementation of reward and punishment serves as a mechanism of control in society, with Islamic boarding schools (Pesantren) constituting a unique community with distinct norms, structures, and relationships. This qualitative library research seeks to provide a historical and psychological perspective on the practice of physical punishment in Pesantren. Findings reveal the continued use of physical punishment as an educational tool for students to learn from their mistakes, though its implementation may result in a range of negative psychological consequences, such as decreased motivation to learn, potential depression and discomfort, and the risk of abusive authority in disciplining students, leading to severe trauma.
