For this reason, research data sources come from primary and secondary, both verbally and non-verbally. Everything is analyzed using embodiment theory. Where the results of the study show that the establishment of Islamic knowledge and pedagogy in Islamic boarding schools is constructed based on Kyai's thinking, which considers all sciences, both religious and general, equally important and complementary. So that the identity and authority of Islamic pedagogy are seen in several aspects, namely curriculum, methods, and human resources. The implications that arise are seen in educational, social, and cultural patterns.
