Abstract

Islamic education in the digital age has undergone major changes with the introduction of technology into the teaching and learning process, but it has also given rise to problems such as unequal access to devices and the internet, low digital literacy among some educators, and the use of unverified online teaching materials. This study aims to explore these challenges and formulate adaptation strategies to maintain the relevance and quality of education using a descriptive-analytical library research method using a descriptive-analytical approach conducted systematically through literature searches in scientific databases (e.g., Google Scholar, DOAJ, ERIC, Garuda/SINTA) using keywords related to the digitization of Islamic education, followed by the selection of sources based on relevance, recency (mainly within the last 10 years), academic credibility (peer-reviewed journal articles, scientific books/book chapters, proceedings, theses/dissertations), as well as supporting policy documents and official institutional reports. This was followed by an evaluation of source quality (publisher reputation, clarity of methods, consistency of findings, traceability of references) and thematic content analysis to map issues of access, educator competence, value-based curriculum, and the collaboration ecosystem. the results of the study show that digitization opens up opportunities to improve accessibility and variety of teaching media, but requires the strengthening of an adaptive curriculum based on Islamic values, improving teachers' digital literacy competencies (platform selection, learning design, source verification, digital ethics), and collaboration between schools, parents, and the community so that digital learning does not run “alone”; Therefore, it is recommended that there be continuous training for educators, integration of religious values in technology-based learning, and equitable access to technology in all regions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the leadership model of the madrasah principal in increasing teacher motivation in learning activities in the classroom of MTs Nurul Hidayah Al Amin. The leadership of the madrasah principal has an important role in directing, fostering, and motivating teachers to be able to carry out learning tasks optimally. Leadership is not only manifested as administrative skills, but also as a process that influences, provides examples, and builds teacher work motivation through a humanistic and religious approach. This research is a qualitative study with a descriptive approach. The research was conducted at MTs Nurul Hidayah Al Amin with the research subjects being the madrasah principal and teachers. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, as well as drawing conclusions and verification to obtain in-depth and easy-to-understand research results. The results show that the madrasah principal applies a transformational leadership model combined with a religious approach. This leadership model is realized through providing motivation, discipline training, open communication, exemplary attitudes, and the creation of a conducive work climate. Teacher motivation in learning activities is influenced by intrinsic factors in the form of awareness of professional responsibility and extrinsic factors in the form of support and attention from the madrasah principal. This leadership model is able to increase teacher motivation in carrying out learning activities in the classroom more optimally.
