Student Well-Being in Islamic Religious Education Learning in the Digital Era: A Phenomenological Study

Abstract

Digital transformation in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning has not only altered pedagogical strategies but also reshaped students' Well-being experiences. This study aims to examine the meaning of student Well-being and the factors influencing it in IRE learning in the digital era. This research employed a qualitative, phenomenological design. The findings reveal that student Well-being is interpreted as a holistic construct encompassing academic balance, emotional comfort, quality of social relationships, and spiritual meaningfulness within IRE learning. Well-being is shaped by the interaction of pedagogical practices, peer relationships, the design and workload of digital learning, students' self-regulation in technology use, family support, and school-based spiritual practices. The novelty of this study lies in the formulation of a conceptual model of student Well-being in IRE grounded in students' perspectives, integrating pedagogical, digital, and spiritual dimensions simultaneously within a learning ecosystem framework that implies the need to develop IRE learning practices oriented toward holistic and sustainable Well-being in the digital era.Transformasi digital dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) tidak hanya mengubah strategi pedagogis, tetapi juga membentuk ulang pengalaman kesejahteraan peserta didik. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain fenomenologis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa student Well-being dimaknai sebagai konstruksi holistik yang mencakup keseimbangan akademik, kenyamanan emosional, kualitas relasi sosial, dan kebermaknaan spiritual dalam pembelajaran PAI; kesejahteraan dipengaruhi oleh interaksi faktor pedagogis guru, relasi teman sebaya, desain dan beban pembelajaran digital, kemampuan regulasi diri dalam penggunaan teknologi, dukungan keluarga, serta praktik spiritual sekolah. Novelty penelitian ini terletak pada perumusan model konseptual student Well-being PAI berbasis perspektif peserta didik yang mengintegrasikan dimensi pedagogis, digital, dan spiritual secara simultan dalam satu kerangka ekosistem pembelajaran yang berimplikasi pada pengembangan pembelajaran PAI yang berorientasi pada kesejahteraan holistik dan berkelanjutan di era digital.
