Revolutionizing Teungku Dayah learning model: exploring the transformative impact of technological advancements on Islamic education in Aceh

Abstract

AbstractThis present article aims to discover the factors driving the transformation of the Teungku Dayahs’ learning model in Aceh. This article argues that Teungku Dayahs in Islamic educational institutions have renewed their teaching perspective. A qualitative approach was taken. Interviews, observation, and online sources were used for data collection. We utilized a snowball sampling method to select our participants. Thematic analysis was employed to identify, categorize, and analyze the key patterns and themes. To conduct our study with the utmost ethical standards, we began by obtaining consent from all participants and ensuring that their confidentiality was safeguarded. To ensure the reliability of our results, we utilized various data sources and cross-verified our findings with the participants to confirm the appropriateness of our collected data. The findings showed three main factors leading to the learning model transformation by the Teungku Dayahs: A paradigm shift, a shifting perception of media use, and a changing view of the learning environment. The study reveals the importance of technological integration into the learning model. The study suggests the need for a firm government policy to support, provide, and enhance technological skills and competencies among educators to help them integrate technology into their teaching.
