The Harmonization of Islamic Religious Education Amid Technological Advancements

Abstract

This study was written with the aim of exposing technology and its influence in the application of learning methods as well as finding steps in achieving harmonization between Islamic religious education and technology. This research uses a library research method that uses library data such as archives, journals, and other documents that support this research. The presence of technology itself in the world of education is a concrete step in supporting the success of education, but there needs to be harmony between the two. Islamic religious education is a complex and significant phenomenon in today's context. Here are some of the ways in which technology affects Islamic religious education: learning access, interactive and collaborative, multimedia and visualization, adaptive learning, monitoring and evaluation, use of applications and simulations. Technology brings huge changes in the way we learn and access information, but it also brings risks to traditional values and religious identities. Here are some steps that can be taken to this harmonization: technology integration into curricula, teacher training, content monitoring and filtration, development of Islamic education applications and platforms, and evaluation of curriculum development.
