Islamic Religious Education Learning Strategies in the Digital Era: Utilization of Social Media and E-Learning
This article discusses Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning strategies in the digital era with a focus on the utilization of social media and e-learning. In a qualitative approach through literature review, it is found that digital technology can be an effective means to deliver Islamic Education materials contextually and interestingly. Social media such as Instagram, YouTube, and WhatsApp can be used to spread Islamic values creatively, while e-learning platforms such as Google Classroom and Moodle facilitate flexible and structured learning. Learning strategies that successfully combine pedagogical approaches with technology can improve understanding, shape character and strengthen students' spirituality. However, challenges such as the digital divide and low religious digital literacy require serious attention. Therefore, the active role of teachers as value educators and digital facilitators is needed so that PAI learning remains meaningful and transformative in the midst of modernization
