Abstract

This study analyzes Norway's public policy responses in expanding national access to digital education. Drawing from policy documents, academic literature, and institutional practices, the paper explores how Norway integrates digitalization within its educational system while maintaining its longstanding commitment to equity. The findings are organized into four themes: national strategies, inclusion and accessibility, institutional readiness, and policy effectiveness. Norway has developed comprehensive digital education strategies that embed digital literacy into curricula, enhance teacher competencies, and ensure infrastructure support. Despite significant progress, challenges persist, especially in ensuring equitable access for students with disabilities, refugees, and those in remote areas. Institutional readiness varies, with universities and urban schools leading innovation, while vocational and rural institutions lag. Moreover, evaluation mechanisms often prioritize infrastructure over learning outcomes, leading to a policy-performance gap. The study concludes that while Norway’s approach offers a strong foundation, future success depends on adaptive governance, sustainable investment, and participatory policy-making that centers pedagogy and learner diversity. These insights contribute to broader debates on how advanced welfare states can ensure inclusive, effective, and future-ready digital education.

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed the educational landscape, particularly in how students access, process, and disseminate information in digital environments. This study aims to examine the integration of Qur’anic ethical principles in fostering responsible digital literacy among Muslim students in the era of artificial intelligence. It focuses on key Qur’anic concepts such as tabayyun (verification of information), ethical communication, and responsibility in knowledge acquisition as moral foundations for digital literacy in contemporary education. By integrating these ethical principles with emerging technologies, the study seeks to propose a framework for promoting responsible digital behavior among students, this research employs a library research method using a qualitative approach through systematic analysis of scholarly literature related to artificial intelligence in education, digital literacy, information ethics, and Qur’anic perspectives on knowledge and communication. Data sources consist of peer-reviewed journal articles, books, and academic publications from the last five to ten years. The collected literature was analyzed using content analysis and conceptual synthesis to identify key themes linking AI-based learning environments with Qur’anic ethical teachings relevant to responsible digital engagement, the findings indicate that integrating Qur’anic ethical values provides a strong moral framework for developing responsible digital literacy in AI-supported learning environments. Principles such as tabayyun encourage critical verification of information, while Qur’anic guidance on responsible speech and knowledge fosters ethical digital communication and critical thinking. The novelty of this study lies in proposing a conceptual integration between AI-based digital literacy and Qur’anic ethical epistemology, bridging technological innovation with Islamic ethical values to cultivate morally responsible digital citizen.

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of interactive learning media in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects and its function in increasing students' active participation. It is hoped that interactive learning media can create a more interesting and dynamic learning environment, so that students are more motivated to be actively involved in the learning process. The research method used is quantitative with an experimental approach, which involves collecting data through observation, questionnaires and interviews. The research results show that the use of interactive learning media, such as digital educational applications, learning videos, and educational games, significantly increases students' active participation in PAI classes. This interactive media also helps students understand subject matter better and develop critical thinking skills. However, this research also identified challenges in implementing interactive learning media, including limited access to technology and teachers' lack of skills in utilizing this media. Therefore, it is recommended that there be increased access to technology in schools and ongoing training for teachers to optimize the use of interactive learning media. Thus, interactive learning media can function more effectively in increasing students' active participation and enriching their learning experience
