DESIGN OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY-BASED DIGITAL PAI TEXTBOOKS IN MADRASAH

Abstract

The digital transformation in education has encouraged Islamic schools (madrasahs) to adopt information technology-based digital textbooks as an effort to improve the quality of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning. This article comprehensively discusses designing digital PAI open textbooks in madrasahs, focusing on information technology integration, benefits for improving collaborative learning, implementation challenges, model development, quality standards, best practices, and recent case studies. This research uses a literature review and case analysis approach, referring to the ADDIE and 4D development models, as well as the TPACK and TAM frameworks for technology integration. The results show that digital PAI textbooks are able to improve accessibility, interactivity, and student learning motivation, but face challenges in infrastructure, digital literacy, and validation of religious content. Case studies in various madrasahs emphasize the importance of teacher training, stakeholder collaboration, and quality assurance and digital ethics in developing digital PAI textbooks.
