Digital Technology-Based Learning Model of Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan Education to Enhance Students' Spiritual Understanding

Abstract

This study aims to develop and analyze the effectiveness of a digital technology-based Islamic and Muhammadiyah learning model in improving students' spiritual understanding at the University of Muhammadiyah Palopo. The research approach used is a qualitative descriptive-interpretive approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, documentation, and focus group discussions. The results show that the digital technology-based learning model is able to increase student active engagement, strengthen the internalization of Islamic and Muhammadiyah spiritual values, and encourage a more reflective and applicable learning process. Digital media such as interactive learning applications, da'wah videos, and online discussion platforms have proven effective in supporting a holistic and contextual learning process. Obstacles found include the readiness of technological infrastructure and human resource competencies that require further attention. Overall, this model makes a significant contribution to the development of innovative Islamic and Muhammadiyah education, responsive to technological developments, and relevant to the needs of the millennial and Z generations.
