Challenges and Opportunities for Implementing Technology in Islamic Education Management in Indonesia

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the challenges and opportunities faced in implementing technology in Islamic education management in Indonesia. The research method used is qualitative research with a case study approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, direct observation, and analysis of related documents. The research results show that the main challenges in implementing technology in Islamic education management involve aspects of infrastructure, training of teaching staff, and resistance to change. Limited access to technology, lack of technological knowledge and skills among teachers, and disapproval of change are the main factors that hinder the integration of technology. However, this research also identifies various opportunities that arise with the implementation of technology. These opportunities include increasing the accessibility of Islamic education through online platforms, increasing administrative efficiency, and developing innovative curricula. In addition, government support and collaboration between Islamic educational institutions can be the key to optimizing the benefits of technology in the educational context. In conclusion, the implementation of technology in the management of Islamic education in Indonesia faces significant challenges, but also brings a number of opportunities that can be optimized. Joint efforts are needed between the government, educational institutions and stakeholders to overcome obstacles and utilize the positive potential of technology to improve the quality of Islamic education in Indonesia. In addition, the research results show that cultural and social factors also have a significant impact on the implementation of technology in the Islamic education environment. Traditional values and social norms can influence the perception and adoption of technology among the Islamic education community. Therefore, technology implementation strategies need to take cultural and social context into account to ensure better acceptance
