Data sources are taken from two informants through in-depth interviews selected using the technique of purposive sampling, all informants were active teachers who chose the profession of catfish teacher education at the Khalid bin Walid Islamic boarding school. All interview results were then analyzed thematically using Miles and Hubermen's analytical techniques.
