PERAN PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM DALAM MEMBENTUK KARAKTER SISWA DI ERA SOCIETY 5.0

Abstract

The Society 5.0 era demands that students integrate digital skills with moral and humanitarian values. In this context, Islamic Religious Education (PAI) plays a strategic role as a foundation for character formation, serving as a value filter and ethical guideline in the use of digital technology. This study aims to analyze the role of PAI in shaping student character, who are not only digitally savvy but also possess noble character, responsibility, moderation, and integrity. This research employed qualitative field methods through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model to gain a comprehensive understanding of PAI's implementation in the digital context. The results indicate that integrating moral values ​​through role models, habituation, internalization, and strengthening digital ethics can shape students' character to be disciplined, empathetic, critical, and wise in utilizing technology. These character traits are urgently needed in the Society 5.0 era, thus PAI is highly relevant in shaping a generation with a balance between technological skills and moral strength to prepare them to face the challenges of future society.
