(Library Research) which focuses on the study of various written sources such as books,
scientific journals, articles, and relevant supporting documents. The results of the study
show that. Keywords: Islamic Education, Dutch Colonial, Islamic Boarding School,
Resistance, Politics of Education. The creative learning approach is a strategy that places
students as active subjects in building knowledge through critical, imaginative, and
innovative thinking. This approach provides space for learners to develop ideas, find
alternative solutions, and relate learning to real experiences. Teachers act as facilitators who
create a learning environment that supports exploration, collaboration, and freedom of
thought. In the perspective of Islamic education, this approach not only develops
intellectual abilities, but also shapes character and morals through the internalization of the
values of honesty, responsibility, discipline, and social concern. The integration of creativity
and Islamic values makes learning balanced between the intellectual and spiritual aspects.
Its implementation can be done through Project-Based Learning, Discovery Learning,
Contextual Teaching and Learning, and Cooperative Learning which emphasizes the
activeness of students. Overall, this approach improves the ability to think at a higher level
while forming a generation with good morals, competitiveness, and balanced personality
in the context of 21st-century education and strengthening the nation's character that is
sustainable and based on consistent Islamic values.
