DIGITAL LITERACY IN ISLAMIC EDUCATION FOR ARABIC LEARNING AT MATHLAUL HIDAYAH DARUSSALAM BOARDING SCHOOL, CIANJUR

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low effectiveness of Arabic language learning in Islamic boarding schools due to the minimal integration of modern technology into traditional learning patterns, such as the talaqqi and bandongan methods. Therefore, this study specifically aims to analyze how digital literacy tools can be utilized appropriately to strengthen the entire Arabic language learning process at Mathlaul Hidayah Darussalam Islamic Boarding School, Cianjur. The research approach used is descriptive qualitative, with primary data collection through in-depth interviews with teachers, direct classroom observations, and documentation studies of the school's digital devices. Field findings indicate that the utilization of turats book e-books, digital dictionary applications, Learning Management Systems, educational videos, and podcasts contributes significantly. These new media successfully improve students' understanding of vocabulary, syntax, morphology, and independent reading of classical texts. In conclusion, digital literacy integration successfully formulates interactive and effective modern learning models without abandoning traditional school values
