Transformation of Islamic Religious Education Learning Through Information Technology Innovation in the Era Society 5.0

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms of PAI learning transformation through information technology innovation in the Society 5.0 era, as well as to identify opportunities, challenges, and human-centered learning orientations. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a literature study approach, strengthened by theoretical triangulation to enhance data validity. Data sources are obtained from books, scientific journals, and previous studies relevant to the digitalization of Islamic education. The results show that the transformation of PAI learning has shifted from a teacher-centered paradigm toward a student-centered one, supported by the integration of technologies such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital Qur’an applications, Virtual/Augmented Reality (VR/AR), and social media. Other findings indicate that the main challenges in PAI digitalization include teachers’ digital pedagogical readiness (85%), students’ digital ethics (75%), infrastructure gaps (65%), and moral supervision (70%).  This study concludes that the transformation of PAI learning in the Society 5.0 era can only be optimized if technology is balanced with the strengthening of spiritual, social, and digital literacy, thereby creating an Islamic learning environment that is humanistic, adaptive, and firmly grounded in religious values.
