Integration Of Learning Technology And Digital Ethics In Contemporary Islamic Religious Education

Abstract

The digital era has transformed the educational landscape globally, including Islamic Religious Education, which faces both challenges and opportunities for transformation. This research aims to analyze the integration of learning technology and digital ethics within the context of contemporary Islamic Religious Education. Utilizing a qualitative literature study research method, this study concludes that such integration is not merely the adoption of digital tools, but a paradigm that necessitates a holistic approach. The analysis results indicate that digital technologies, such as e-learning platforms, gamification, and social media, have the potential to enhance the accessibility, personalization, and engagement in learning Islamic values. However, this potential can only be optimized if balanced with the development of a robust digital ethics framework, emphasizing responsibility, wisdom (hikmah), and moral integrity in cyberspace. This study develops an integrative framework that combines pedagogical-technological aspects with Islamic moral values, such as honesty, modesty (al-haya'), and avoiding slander (gibah) in the digital world. The implications of this research highlight the need to develop digital- responsive curriculum models for Islamic Religious Education and to enhance educators' competencies in ethical digital literacy
