Pemanfaatan Media Teknologi Informasi dalam Meningkatkan Mutu Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam

This article examines the use and functions of information technology media and its contribution to the quality of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning. It employs a library research approach by examining books, scholarly articles, policy documents, and relevant conceptual literature. The discussion is organized thematically around media use, pedagogical functions, learning quality, teacher readiness, and institutional support. The literature indicates that digital media can expand access to learning resources, support the presentation of visual and audio materials, facilitate communication beyond classroom hours, and create opportunities for discussion, practice, and feedback. These benefits are conditional rather than automatic. They depend on alignment with learning objectives, teachers’ pedagogical and digital competence, the accuracy of religious content, students’ access, and institutional infrastructure. Technology is most appropriate as an integrated learning resource rather than a substitute for teacher guidance, modelling, habituation, and direct interaction. The article proposes a conceptual framework connecting learning objectives, teacher readiness, media selection, institutional support, learning processes, and multidimensional indicators of PAI learning quality. It concludes that technology can contribute to better PAI learning when its use is planned, critically evaluated, ethically guided, and grounded in the distinctive cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aims of Islamic education
