ISLAMIC-BASED DIGITAL INNOVATION IN EDUCATION FOR SHAPING SUSTAINABLE STUDENT CHARACTER

Abstract

The climate crisis and environmental degradation are global challenges that urge the world of education to innovate, not only responsive to technological developments but also deeply rooted in spiritual values. This study aims to analysis the implementation of digital-based learning innovations with an integrated Islamic approach to instilling sustainability awareness in students at SMPIT Mutiara Ilmu Bangkalan. The method used was a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies involving teachers, the principal, and students. The results show that teachers creatively integrate Islamic material with sustainability issues in various digital media such as interactive videos, online modules, and infographics containing Islamic moral messages. Students are also actively involved in digital projects such as vlogs, podcasts, and social media campaigns themed around environmental conservation from an Islamic perspective. Students' responses to this learning model have been very positive. They demonstrated an increased understanding of environmental issues and tangible behavioral changes, such as maintaining a clean school environment, reducing the use of single-use plastics, and adopting an energy-efficient lifestyle. These findings indicate that digital learning based on Islamic values is effective in building sustainability literacy and strengthening students' spiritual character. The conclusion of this study is that digital learning innovation with an integrated Islamic approach can shape students into environmentally conscious agents of change with a strong spiritual foundation. The study recommends the importance of developing a national curriculum that systematically integrates technology, Islamic spirituality, and sustainability principles for implementation in Islamic schools in Indonesia.
