Abstract

The rapid evolution of the digital era has significantly altered the characteristics of learners, necessitating a paradigm shift in Islamic Religious Education (PAI). Traditional instructional methods often fail to bridge the gap between religious doctrine and the interactive nature of 21st-century digital life. This study aims to formulate a strategic framework for IT-based instructional design in PAI that integrates modern pedagogical theories with Islamic values. Employing a library research approach, this study analyzes various scientific literatures, including reference books and reputable journals, using an inductive thematic analysis. The findings reveal that an effective PAI instructional design must be student-centered, utilizing the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) framework and blended learning models such as the flipped classroom. Furthermore, the integration of digital platforms (LMS, interactive media) must follow systematic models like ADDIE to ensure that technology serves as a catalyst for both cognitive understanding and the internalization of akhlaqul karimah (noble character). Digital transformation in PAI is not merely about adopting tools but about re-envisioning the pedagogical bond between teacher and student. This framework provides a blueprint for educators to create a learning environment that is academically rigorous, technologically adaptive, and spiritually profound.
