<![CDATA[The rapid growth of digital technology has brought about a range of moral challenges in students’ behavior, especially in relation to media ethics and the ability to filter information. This condition highlights the urgent need for the strategic role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in guiding and directing students’ digital activities so they remain within proper boundaries. This study aims to examine how the personality competence of PAI teachers can serve as a moral filter for students’ digital behavior from the perspective of Islamic education. Adopting a library research approach, this study reviews various academic sources, including books and relevant journal articles that discuss teacher competence and the dynamics of digital behavior. The findings indicate that personality competence, covering integrity, role modeling, emotional maturity, and consistency in attitude, has a significant contribution in developing students’ ethical awareness when using digital technology. In this regard, teachers are not only responsible for delivering knowledge but also act as role models who are capable of instilling moral values in students’ digital lives. The study further implies that strengthening the personality competence of PAI teachers is an essential preventive and educational effort to address the negative impacts of the digital era. Such efforts play a crucial role in shaping a generation that maintains noble character while navigating an increasingly boundless digital environment.]]>
