Integration of Educational Technology (EduTech) and Islamic Values in Facing Global Educational Challenges

Abstract

The development of educational technology presents both opportunities and challenges in the learning process amid the rapid pace of globalization today. This study focuses on the integration of Islamic values with educational technology, which aims to shape the character of students who are not only religious but also able to adapt to global changes. The method used in this study is qualitative research with in-depth analysis of scientific literature and current educational policies. One of the main focuses of this study is to formulate strategies for utilizing technology that are in line with Islamic principles while maintaining a balance between technological advances and Islamic moral values in the learning environment. The findings show that technology can support learning interactions, expand access to information, and increase the effectiveness of the student learning process, provided that its application is carefully supervised and based on Islamic values such as honesty, tolerance, and social ethics. Furthermore, a curriculum that integrates the synergy between Educational Technology (EduTech) and Islamic character education is very important in shaping a spiritual and globally competitive generation. This study recommends the development of a learning model that combines educational technology with Islamic values in a contextual and applicable manner.
