The Need for Implementing Digital Instruction in the Al-Syariah Dini Subject: A Concept Paper

Abstract

The use of digital tools in Islamic education is becoming more important as schools around the world start looking for new ways to teach. This concept paper looks into why it is important for the al-Syariah Dini subject to use digital methods in teaching since they are a key part of the Malaysian Dini Integrated Curriculum (KBD). While digitalization can help make learning more interesting and effective, it also brings up worries about making sure students and teachers know how to use new technology well, are properly trained, and are using it in a way that fits with Islamic teaching and values. This paper looks at 50 recent articles published between 2020 and 2025 to find out what the main difficulties are when putting digital tools into practice, as well as what works well to help overcome these challenges. The findings show how important it is for teachers to be equipped with technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), such as using technology in their classrooms, fixing any problems with their equipment, and trying out new ways of teaching, like flip writing and game-based learning. Ultimately, using digital tools and technology in Islamic education needs to go hand-in-hand with Islamic values so that students learn both useful knowledge and important life lessons. This paper provides some key starting points for people involved in Islamic education who want to help bring the field forward through technology and modern methods.
