Abstract

Digital pedagogical transformation has become an urgent need in the world of education, including in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning in madrasas. This study aims to explore the implementation of digital pedagogical transformation in PAI learning in Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) in Jambi City, as well as to identify supporting factors, obstacles, and teacher and student perceptions of the process. Using a mix-method research method, a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation in several selected MTs and analyzed with a quantitative approach. The results of the study indicate that digital pedagogical transformation has been carried out through the integration of digital media, online learning platforms, and the implementation of a blended learning model, where statistical analysis in the use of digital media on the learning process amounted to 0,001. The main supporting factors include madrasah policy support and increasing teacher digital literacy, while the main obstacles are limited infrastructure and human resource readiness. In general, teachers and students showed a positive response to the use of digital technology in PAI learning, although ongoing training and technical assistance are still needed. This study recommends strengthening teacher training strategies and providing adequate digital resources to support the sustainability of digital pedagogical transformation in madrasas.
