Scientific learning is a major requirement of the 2013 Curriculum in Indonesia; however, its implementation in pesantren-based schools remains limited because learning processes are still dominated by direct instruction methods. This condition creates challenges for integrating scientific learning within Islamic boarding school education. Purpose. This study aims to analyze strategies for implementing scientific learning at MTs Nurul Iman Pondok Pesantren Cigalontang using SWOT analysis. Method. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving teachers and school stakeholders. The data were analyzed using SWOT analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to the implementation of scientific learning. Findings. The findings reveal that the main strengths lie in the pesantren’s educational resources and supporting facilities. However, weaknesses include students’ low analytical skills, limited learning independence, low motivation, and insufficient teacher training. Opportunities include the integration of moral and academic values, while threats involve students’ resistance to scientific learning, limited instructional time, and changing educational policies. Conclusion. This study concludes that the successful implementation of scientific learning in pesantren-based schools requires strategic integration between modern pedagogical approaches and pesantren educational traditions. Originality. This study provides a contextual SWOT-based framework for implementing scientific learning in pesantren-based schools.
