The Implementation of Smart School in Islamic Religious Education Learning at SMA Negeri 3 Bulukumba

Abstract

The rapid development of information technology has encouraged learning transformation in educational institutions, including Islamic Religious Education (IRE). One form of this transformation is the implementation of the Smart School system at SMA Negeri 3 Bulukumba as part of the technology-based education policy of the South Sulawesi Provincial Government. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Smart School in Islamic Religious Education learning, its integration into the learning process, and the role of IRE teachers in implementing the system. This research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation related to the implementation of Smart School-based IRE learning. The findings indicate that the implementation of Smart School in IRE learning has been conducted systematically and in a structured manner, although it still faces technical challenges and limited interaction. The integration of Smart School enriches learning methods and media without diminishing religious values, as technology is positioned as a supporting tool rather than a substitute for instructional substance. Furthermore, IRE teachers play a central role in managing classroom activities, reinforcing instructional content, and maintaining Islamic values within the learning process. This study concludes that the effectiveness of Smart School in Islamic Religious Education learning is largely determined by teacher readiness, infrastructure support, and contextually grounded instructional management.

Perkembangan teknologi informasi mendorong dunia pendidikan untuk melakukan transformasi pembelajaran, termasuk dalam mata pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI). Salah satu bentuk transformasi tersebut adalah penerapan Smart School yang diimplementasikan di SMA Negeri 3 Bulukumba sebagai bagian dari kebijakan pendidikan berbasis teknologi Pemerintah Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji penerapan Smart School dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam, integrasinya dalam proses pembelajaran, serta peran guru PAI dalam mengimplementasikan sistem tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Data diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi yang berkaitan dengan pelaksanaan pembelajaran PAI berbasis Smart School. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan Smart School dalam pembelajaran PAI telah berjalan secara sistematis dan terstruktur, meskipun masih menghadapi sejumlah kendala teknis dan pedagogis. Integrasi Smart School dalam pembelajaran PAI dapat memperkaya metode dan media pembelajaran tanpa menghilangkan nilai-nilai religius, selama teknologi diposisikan sebagai sarana pendukung. Selain itu, guru PAI memegang peran sentral dalam mengelola pembelajaran, memberikan penguatan materi, serta menjaga substansi nilai keislaman dalam proses pembelajaran. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa keberhasilan Smart School dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam sangat ditentukan oleh kesiapan guru, dukungan sarana prasarana, dan pengelolaan pembelajaran yang kontekstual dan bernilai
