INOVASI PEMBELAJARAN DALAM PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM DI ERA DIGITAL: STUDI KASUS DI YAYASAN DARUL MUJAWWIDDIN

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in traditional Islamic educational institutions faces various challenges in integrating learning innovations that are relevant to technological advancements and the needs of students. Limited resources, low digital literacy among teachers, and cultural resistance to the use of digital media are the main obstacles affecting the effectiveness of religious education. This study aims to examine the challenges and opportunities in the implementation of learning innovations. The research findings indicate that although there are significant challenges related to technological resources and teachers’ digital literacy, there are great opportunities arising from students’ positive responses to digital media, the use of interactive applications, and collaboration among teachers. The adaptive strategies implemented such as the integration of simple media and thematic memorization methods based on verses from the Qur’an demonstrate teachers’ pedagogical resilience under limited conditions. These findings underscore the importance of contextual, values-based, and sustainable PAI learning innovations, and provide recommendations for digital literacy training for teachers, policy support for structural innovations, and further research through direct classroom observation.
