Abstract

The rapid development of social media has created a disjunction between the moral values taught in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and students' complex and often problematic digital behavior. PAI teachers are at the forefront of facing the challenge of guiding students to navigate ethically in cyberspace, yet their functions and competencies have not been adequately defined to meet today's demands. This study aims to critically analyze the conceptualization and implementation of PAI teachers' pedagogical functions in shaping students' digital morals and ethics, identify the fundamental problems they face, and formulate a new, relevant competency model. Using a qualitative approach with a literature review method analyzed through thematic synthesis, this study integrates findings from various credible scientific sources. The analysis shows that PAI teachers are in the process of reconceptualizing their function, shifting from normative instructors to facilitators and moral role models in the digital world. However, its implementation is hampered by fundamental problems including the digital literacy gap, psychological burden, and a lack of systematic institutional support. In response to these challenges, this study formulates a new competency model for Islamic Religious Education teachers consisting of six main pillars: (1) critical digital pedagogy, (2) proactive moral guidance, (3) ecosystemic collaboration, (4) contextual learning design, (5) personal resilience and adaptability, and (6) education policy advocacy. This model offers an integrated framework to equip Islamic Religious Education teachers with the capabilities needed to effectively shape a digitally competent, ethically mature, and morally upright young generation. This study has implications for the need for reform in teacher education curricula and professional development policies for religious educators in the digital era.

Abstract

Islamic schools (madrasahs) play a strategic role not only in fostering students’ academic achievement but also in cultivating religious character as an essential foundation for navigating contemporary social challenges. However, learning practices that remain predominantly teacher-centered often limit student engagement, reducing opportunities for the meaningful internalization of religious values. In response to this issue, this community service program aimed to facilitate the implementation of interactive learning to enhance student participation and strengthen religious character among students at MA Nurul Huda Sedati Sidoarjo. The program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach involving four stages: observation, planning, action implementation, evaluation, and reflection, with active collaboration between teachers and students throughout the process. Interactive learning strategies were implemented through group discussions, presentations, question-and-answer sessions, and contextual reflective activities integrated with religious values. The findings revealed a significant transformation in the learning process toward a more participatory, dialogic, and reflective environment, as evidenced by increased student involvement in discussions, greater confidence in expressing ideas, and improved collaborative skills. Furthermore, the program contributed to strengthening students’ religious character, reflected in the development of discipline, responsibility, mutual respect, and social awareness within classroom interactions. These findings indicate that interactive learning serves not only as an effective approach for enhancing student engagement but also as a meaningful medium for internalizing religious values and translating them into everyday attitudes and behaviors. Therefore, interactive learning assistance grounded in religious values can be considered a strategic and sustainable approach to supporting character education within the madrasah context.
