Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic Religious Education teachers in fostering students' religious attitudes in the digital era, taking the research location at SMP Negeri 1 Tulang Bawang, Lampung. The main focus of this study is to understand how Islamic Religious Education teachers implement religious values ​​development adaptively to technological developments and changes in students' religious behavior. This study uses a qualitative method with a Digital Ethnography and Phenomenology approach that combines direct observation in the school environment with tracking students' religious activities in digital spaces. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, documentation of religious activities, and analysis of digital footprints such as online learning platforms and social media. The results show that Islamic Religious Education teachers act as moral guides, spiritual role models, and facilitators of religious values, both in the school environment and through digital media. Guidance is carried out through habituation of worship, role models, and strengthening religious character in online interactions. These findings confirm the transformation of the role of Islamic Religious Education teachers from traditional instructors to digital moral figures capable of instilling Islamic values ​​in a contextual and relevant manner to students' lives. The implications of this study broaden understanding of the new paradigm of Islamic Religious Education that integrates spirituality and digital literacy. The results are expected to serve as a reference for the development of theories of religious development in the modern era, as well as a basis for educational policies in strengthening the digital and spiritual competencies of Islamic religious education teachers so that they are able to face the challenges of 21st-century education.
