Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strengthening of Islamic character values through the implementation of digital storytelling in the learning process. The research is motivated by the need to present a contextual and engaging learning approach that aligns with the characteristics of the digital generation while maintaining Islamic moral principles. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research involved teachers and students in learning activities using digital media such as videos, audio recordings, and narrative slides featuring stories of the Prophets, companions, and Islamic moral tales. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that digital storytelling effectively instills Islamic character values such as honesty, responsibility, empathy, and care. Teachers act as innovators, transforming conventional lectures into interactive digital narratives, while students actively participate as creators of moral content, enhancing their moral understanding through direct experience. Moreover, the successful integration of digital storytelling is supported by the school’s religious culture and community involvement, including parents and local religious figures, who reinforce students’ moral environments. This study concludes that strengthening Islamic character education in the digital era requires not only the use of modern media but also the synergy of values, culture, and technology within a cohesive learning ecosystem.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how mini podcasts are used as thematic learning media in grades 4–6 of elementary school, as well as their impact on learning attention, class discussions, and student independence. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, learning documentation, and field observations at MI Bustanul Ulum 01. The analysis was carried out thematically using the Miles and Huberman model, which included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of the study show that mini podcasts can increase students' initial focus, create a conducive learning atmosphere, and strengthen material retention. Additionally, these media encourage active participation in thematic discussions and enable students to learn independently outside of class hours. The study's implications suggest that mini podcasts are an effective alternative medium relevant for application in elementary schools, particularly in areas with technological limitations. These findings make an empirical and practical contribution to the development of audio learning media that is contextual and integrated with thematic approaches.
