(2) The planning of the integrative curriculum involves: a) integrating curriculum objectives—aligning the vision of general and religious knowledge development, followed by preparing annual programs, semester programs, and lesson plans (RPP); and b) integrating curriculum content by combining the Islamic studies (Ta’lim Dirasah Islamiyah) from the pesantren with the Islamic Education subjects in the madrasah. (3) The implementation of the integrative curriculum is carried out by competent teachers, excellent students, and the madrasah head through: a) integrating curriculum implementation programs—unifying the academic calendar and activity plans of the pesantren and madrasah; and b) integrating curriculum supervision through collaboration between the pesantren leader and madrasah head. (4) The evaluation of the integrative curriculum is conducted in a coordinated manner between the madrasah and pesantren, covering: a) context evaluation, b) input evaluation, c) process evaluation, and d) product evaluation of the curriculum.
