Results and Discussion The literature study that has been described brings various important findings about Islamic education, technology and social media that are relevant to the general public.
First, the integration of technology in learning shows that teachers have high confidence in the benefits of technology to improve the way they teach.
However, there are concerns about the lack of infrastructure and support needed to use this technology effectively.
They also worry that students may not be well prepared to use technology for higher-order thinking.
Research on the challenges of Islamic education in the digital era reveals that there are several serious problems that need to be addressed.
For example, the spread of misinformation and the negative influence of social media can have a negative impact on education and religious values.
Solutions include strengthening digital literacy among students and integrating social media learning in religious curricula to help them use social media wisely in accordance with Islamic teachings.
Studies on the role of social media in Muslim societies show that social media can be used as an effective tool to share religious teachings and support Muslim communities.
However, there is also a risk that inappropriate use could damage society's morals and values.
Therefore, it is important for Muslims to use social media selectively and responsibly, in accordance with their religious values.
The transformation of Islamic boarding schools in this disruptive era also highlights the adaptations needed in Islamic education.
Islamic boarding schools need to utilize technology such as the Internet of Things and big data to improve learning and facilitate access to information for students.
