Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has transformed the educational landscape, including in Islamic
Religious Education learning. While digitalization offers flexibility and ease of access, it also presents
new challenges such as the risk of secularization, shallow spiritual understanding, and the loss of personal touch in education. This study aims to examine the integration of a theo-anthropocentric approach
in the digitalization of Islamic Religious Education learning, by establishing divine values (theocentric)
and human values (anthropocentric) as the main foundation to maintain the depth of Islamic values
and character. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with field studies at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Blitar. Data was collected through observations, in-depth interviews with teachers and
students, as well as documentation of the digital learning media used. Thematic analysis was conducted
to identify the integration of theocentric and anthropocentric values in digital learning practices. The
findings indicate that Islamic Religious Education teachers have implemented digital learning strategies that emphasize the values of monotheism, ethics, and spiritual reflection. Teachers not only serve
as facilitators of learning materials but also as murabbi who guide students’ ethics in the digital space.
This value integration is evident in educational videos containing spiritual messages, ethical discussion
forums, and reflective assignments that foster students’ self-awareness. and reflective assignments that
foster students’ self-awareness.
