This study examines the integration of Islamic digital literacy into Islamic Religious Education (PAI) as a preventive effort against the negative impacts of social media on Generation Z. The background of this research arises from the increasing dependence of Gen Z on digital platforms, which significantly influences their religious understanding, behavior, and character development. The study aims to identify the level of students’ digital literacy, explore how PAI teachers integrate Islamic values into digital learning activities, and analyze the implications of this integration for students’ online behavior. Using a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, quantitative data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires, followed by qualitative data obtained from interviews and documentation. The findings reveal that Gen Z demonstrates high social media engagement but limited critical abilities in verifying online religious information, making them vulnerable to misinformation, moral degradation, and unhealthy digital habits. However, when PAI instruction incorporates Islamic digital literacy—such as tabayyun, ethical communication, and value-based content analysis—students show improved critical thinking, ethical awareness, and responsible social media use. The study concludes that integrating Islamic digital literacy into PAI provides a strategic educational framework to strengthen students' digital ethics, enhance their resilience against harmful online content, and promote a balanced, value-driven engagement with digital media.

Popular culture and digitalization have become the main context of the lives of Catholic children and adolescents, thus having a significant impact on the formation of their identity, values, and practices of faith. Phenomena such as social media, music, movies, and digital games are not only entertainment spaces, but also pedagogical spaces that shape the way of thinking and spirituality of the younger generation. This study aims to analyze the relevance of Thomas H. Groome's Shared Christian Praxis (SCP) model as a contextual catechesis approach for children and adolescents living in popular culture. Using a qualitative method based on literature studies, this study interprets popular cultural dynamics, the principles of the Church's faith education, and the SCP approach through hermeneutical and thematic analysis. The results show that traditional catechesis approaches are no longer adequate to answer the needs of the digital generation which demands a dialogical, participatory, and experiential learning process. The SCP approach has been proven to be able to integrate students' experiences, critical reflection, the Church's story of faith, hermeneutical dialogue, and concrete actions as a single faith-building process.

Moral learning in junior high schools often faces challenges in improving the understanding and application of moral values in everyday life, especially in the material of Trustworthiness and Honesty. This paper is intended to explain the design of the Problem-based learning (PBL) learning method as an innovation in moral learning of the material of Trustworthiness and Honesty in class VIII of SMP Muhammadiyah 4 Panarukan, which is expected to improve students' understanding through a more contextual, active, and applicable learning experience. The PBL method allows students to analyze real problems related to Trustworthiness and Honesty, develop solutions, and reflect on the application of these values in everyday life. This learning design method adopts two stages of the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model, namely the needs analysis stage and the learning design stage. The results of the study indicate that the need for moral learning in class VIII of junior high school includes the importance of more interactive and problem-based methods, which can bridge the gap between moral theory and its application in real life. This PBL learning design integrates case studies, group discussions, and reflection to create meaningful learning experiences related to the values of Trustworthiness and Honesty. Although this design has considered various pedagogical and contextual aspects, the method is still in the design stage and has not been directly implemented or evaluated. Therefore, further research is needed to test the effectiveness of the PBL method in the context of moral learning at SMP Muhammadiyah 4 Panarukan.
