Exploring Student’ Digital Learning Experiences in Islamic Religious Education: The Role of Video Based Learning Platforms in Developing 21st Century Skilss at Taman Ilmu Perlanaan Private Vocational School

Abstract

This study aims to explore students' digital learning experiences in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) through the use of video learning platforms and their contribution to the development of 21st-century skills. The study uses an exploratory qualitative approach with a case study design on students at Taman Ilmu Perlanaan Private Vocational School. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation, and then analyzed using thematic analysis. The results show that using video learning provides a more interactive, flexible, and contextual learning experience. Students showed increased engagement through activities like understanding the material, discussing, reflecting, and connecting Islamic values to daily life. In addition, the video learning platform contributes to the development of 21st-century skills, especially critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration and digital literacy. However, the implementation of digital learning still faces challenges such as limited technological infrastructure and the need to improve teachers' competencies in integrating technology pedagogically. This study emphasizes that learning videos can be a strategy in Islamic Education learning that supports active and meaningful learning experiences in the digital era.
