Digital Transformation in Islamic Religious Education Learning: A Study of Theory and Implementation in Schools

Abstract

Digital transformation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning is an urgent need in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, in line with the rapid development of technology and changes in students' learning patterns. This research aims to comprehensively analyze the theory and implementation of digital transformation in PAI learning in schools. The research method used is qualitative with a literature study approach and empirical analysis of practices in several schools in Indonesia. The results of the study show that the integration of digital technology, such as Computer-Based Instruction (CBI) and Web-Based Instruction (WBI), Social Digital Learning, and Adaptive Digital Learning, is able to increase the effectiveness, interactivity, and motivation of students to learn in PAI learning. However, the main challenges faced include limited infrastructure, teacher competence in the use of technology, and the availability of digital content that is relevant to Islamic values. This study recommends the need to strengthen teacher training, develop digital content based on Islamic values, and cross-sector collaboration to optimize digital transformation in PAI learning. The implications of this research are expected to be a strategic reference for education stakeholders in designing policies and practices for PAI learning that are adaptive, inclusive, and characterful in the digital era.
