TRANSFORMASI PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM MELALUI PEMBELAJARAN DALAM KERANGKA KONSEPTUAL

Abstract

This conceptual paper explores the integration of deep learning methodol-ogies into Islamic Religious Education (PAI) as a transformative approach to enhance student engagement and meaningful learning. While techno-logical advancements have revolutionized educational practices across disciplines, Islamic Religious Education has been relatively slower in adopt-ing innovative pedagogical approaches like deep learning. This article ex-amines the theoretical foundations, challenges, and opportunities for im-plementing deep learning strategies within PAI contexts. The discussion focuses on how deep learning can facilitate higher-order thinking, promote authentic understanding of Islamic concepts, and develop students' spir-itual intelligence while maintaining fidelity to traditional Islamic educational values. The paper proposes a conceptual framework that bridges tradi-tional Islamic pedagogical approaches with contemporary deep learning principles, suggesting practical applications for PAI educators. The integra-tion of deep learning methodologies in PAI holds significant promise for developing religiously literate students capable of applying Islamic princi-ples in their daily lives while critically engaging with complex contemporary issues from an informed Islamic perspective.
