MODEL OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION, DIGITAL LITERACY AND CHARACTER STRENGTHENING IN FACING THE CHALLENGE OF GENERATION ALPHA
Abstract
The rapid development of digital technology has changed the learning patterns, interaction methods, and character formation of Generation Alpha. This condition demands the presence of an educational model that is able to integrate Islamic Religious Education (PAI), digital literacy, and character strengthening as a whole in the learning process. This study aims to analyze the integration model of Islamic Religious Education, digital literacy, and character strengthening in facing the challenges of Generation Alpha. The study used a qualitative approach with a library research method. Data were obtained from various scientific sources such as books, reputable journal articles, education policy documents, and relevant research results. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques by identifying, categorizing, and interpreting various concepts related to the integration of these three aspects. The results show that an effective integration model is built through three main dimensions: the integration of Islamic values in the use of digital technology, strengthening digital literacy based on ethics and morals, and internalizing character education through collaborative, contextual, and student-centered learning. This model contributes to shaping Generation Alpha, who not only possess digital competence but also possess religious, critical, responsible, creative character, and the ability to filter information wisely. Thus, the integration of Islamic religious education, digital literacy, and character building is a relevant strategy for developing human resources that are adaptive to technological developments without neglecting moral and spiritual values.
