Integrating Contemporary Digital Ethics into Islamic Studies Curricula: A Structured Analysis Using Interpretive Structural Modelling

This study examines the integration of contemporary digital ethics into Islamic studies curricula using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) and MICMAC analysis. The research aims to develop comprehensive Digital Ethics Guidelines (DEG) for Islamic educational institutions adapting to the digital age while maintaining Islamic principles and values. Through expert consultation and systematic analysis, the study identified nine key components structured in a three-level hierarchical framework. The foundational level comprises Islamic Ethics Framework integration, Privacy and Data Protection, and Content Authenticity. The middle level focuses on Digital Resource Development as a mediating element, while the operational level includes compliance review, student responsibilities, teacher responsibilities, and assessment frameworks, all interconnected through the Digital Learning Environment. The MICMAC analysis revealed that most variables fall into the linkage category, indicating a highly interconnected system where changes in one component significantly impact others. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on digital ethics in Islamic education by providing a structured framework for implementing ethical guidelines while maintaining Islamic principles in the digital learning environment. The findings suggest that successful implementation requires careful consideration of both traditional Islamic values and modern educational needs, supported by continuous monitoring and adaptation mechanisms.
