MODEL PEMBELAJARAN PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM BERBASIS CRITICAL THINKING DI ERA INFORMASI DIGITAL

Abstract

The development of digital information technology in the modern era presents both challenges and opportunities in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning, particularly in developing students' critical thinking skills. The rapid, complex, and often invalid flow of information demands an Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning model that is not only oriented towards knowledge transfer but also towards strengthening students' analytical, evaluative, and reflective abilities. This study aims to analyze a critical thinking-based Islamic Religious Education learning model in the digital information era and its implications for improving the quality of learning and character building of students. The method used is a qualitative research approach with a literature review approach (library research), through the analysis of various relevant scientific literature sources in the last five years. The results show that the application of a critical thinking-based learning model in PAI can improve students' abilities in analyzing information, evaluating digital content, solving problems rationally, and making decisions based on Islamic values. In addition, this learning model is also able to form a critical, tolerant, and wise attitude in dealing with various information in digital media. In conclusion, the critical thinking-based Islamic Religious Education learning model is effectively implemented as an innovative learning strategy to address the challenges of the digital information age, as it not only strengthens students' cognitive aspects but also builds religious character and digital literacy skills that are adaptive to current developments.
