Implementation of Artificial Intelligence in Islamic Religious Education Curriculum Development: Adaptive Learning Model to Improve Students' Spiritual Competence

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in the development of the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum, focusing on an adaptive learning model to improve students' spiritual competence. It uses a qualitative research method with a literature study approach and thematic analysis of 15 journal articles from the Sinta, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases for the 2020-2024 period. The results show that AI can be integrated into the PAI curriculum through an adaptive learning system, personalized learning content, automatic evaluation based on spiritual competence, and real-time analysis of student progress. The implementation of an AI-based curriculum model has been shown to increase understanding of Islamic material by up to 45%, student learning motivation by 38%, and achievement of spiritual competence by 41%. However, challenges include validation of religious content, teacher training, and adequate technological infrastructure. The study concludes that the integration of AI into the PAI curriculum requires a holistic approach that considers the pedagogical, technological, and spiritual aspects of Islam.
