Abstract

This study examines the transformation of tafsir learning in Indonesia from traditional pedagogical practices to digitally mediated learning environments. Drawing on an analysis of 38 scholarly publications published between 2016 and 2025, including journal articles, conference proceedings, and theses, it investigates changes in teaching methods, learning interactions, access to exegetical sources, and religious authority. The findings indicate that digital platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, X, and websites, have expanded opportunities for accessing and engaging with Qur'anic interpretation beyond conventional face-to-face settings. However, this development has not eliminated traditional methods such as bandongan and sorogan, which continue to provide important forms of direct scholarly guidance. Instead, digital mediation has diversified the ways tafsir knowledge is transmitted, accessed, and discussed. While these developments increase accessibility and flexibility, they also raise concerns regarding source credibility, interpretive competence, and the changing relationship between teachers and learners. The study argues that digital transformation in tafsir education should be understood not simply as technological substitution but as a reconfiguration of pedagogical practices and knowledge transmission within Indonesian Islamic education.
