บทคัดย่อ

Over the past decade, rapid technological advancements have significantly
impacted various sectors, including education. In the context of Islamic
religious education, integrating technology presents both opportunities and
challenges, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively
blend technology with teaching content and values. However, research on the
readiness and obstacles in implementing the TPACK model within the Islamic
religious education curriculum is still limited. This study utilized a qualitative
approach with case studies of five senior high schools in Pekanbaru to explore
these issues. The results show significant variations in technology adoption and
teacher readiness across the schools. Key factors in overcoming technological
challenges include institutional support and professional training, with some
schools achieving success through long-term investments in immersive
technologies like AR and VR. These findings highlight the importance of
adaptive and innovative approaches to address technological barriers in
education. Theoretically, this study enhances the literature by providing
empirical evidence on the crucial role of institutional support and professional
training. Practically, it offers guidance for educational institutions to improve
teacher and student readiness for technology integration. Although the study is
limited by its small sample size, it provides valuable insights and recommends
future research to explore new educational technologies further. Continuous
investment in educational technology, sufficient professional training, and
strong institutional support are essential for effective technology integration
in Islamic religious education. These findings contribute to both theoretical
understanding and practical applications, offering solutions to enhance
educational quality through technology.
