Abstract
This systematic literature review examines the current trends and future directions in Islamic educational technology, addressing the pressing need to explore the integration of digital tools in Islamic education. Employing the PRISMA framework searching techniques, the study synthesizes findings from 22 selected scholarly works from the year 2020 until 2024 from databases such as Scopus and Eric. Three overarching themes emerge: 1) Islamic perspectives on innovation, creativity, and technology; 2) the intersection of technology and Islamic thought; and 3) Digital religion and new media in Islamic preaching and education. Future directions in Islamic educational technology aim to enhance further engagement, accessibility, and relevance in contemporary society, fostering an enlightened Muslim community adept in both traditional teachings and modern educational strategies.
Abstrak
Kajian literatur sistematik ini mengkaji trend semasa dan hala tuju masa depan dalam teknologi pendidikan Islam, menangani keperluan mendesak untuk meneroka integrasi alat digital dalam pendidikan Islam. Menggunakan teknik carian rangka kerja PRISMA, kajian ini mensintesis penemuan daripada 22 karya ilmiah terpilih dari tahun 2020 hingga 2024 daripada pangkalan data seperti Scopus dan Eric. Tiga tema terhasil daripada carian iaitu: 1) perspektif Islam mengenai inovasi, kreativiti dan teknologi; 2) penyimpangan antara teknologi dan pemikiran Islam; dan 3) Agama digital dan media baharu dalam dakwah dan pendidikan Islam. Hala tuju masa depan dalam teknologi pendidikan Islam bertujuan untuk meningkatkan penglibatan, kebolehcapaian, dan perkaitan dalam masyarakat kontemporari bagi memupuk komuniti Islam yang berpandu yang mahir dalam kedua-dua strategi pengajaran secara tradisional dan moden.
