The rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly influenced various aspects of children's and adolescents' lives, particularly emotional development and social interaction. Excessive and uncontrolled use of digital media may negatively affect emotional regulation, communication skills, and interpersonal relationships. Therefore, educational institutions play an important role in helping students develop positive character and social behavior. Islamic Religious Education (IRE) is expected to contribute to character formation by instilling moral values, strengthening self-control, and encouraging healthy social interactions. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Islamic Religious Education learning on the emotional development and social interaction of late childhood students in the digitalization era. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 40 students at MIS As-Syafi'iyah 10 Bogor in 2026. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi-square test. The findings revealed that 32 respondents (80%) demonstrated a good level of Islamic Religious Education learning. In addition, 23 respondents (57.5%) showed good emotional development, while 28 respondents (70%) demonstrated good social interaction. Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.001 (<0.05), indicating a significant effectiveness of Islamic Religious Education learning on students' emotional development and social interaction. These findings suggest that Islamic Religious Education contributes positively to fostering emotional maturity and improving social relationships among students in the digital era.

The phenomenon of moral or moral decadence is often seen by a wide audience today, starting from violence, brawls, exclusivism, to the loss of respect for foster children towards teachers/caregivers. All forms of dysfunction are indicated because good interpersonal communication has not been established. This research aims to analyze the interpersonal communication developed by caregivers at the Putra Utama 3 Children's Orphanage in fostering noble morals, as well as the efforts carried out and the obstacles faced during the implementation of moral guidance. Researchers used a qualitative approach with a field study type of research involving orphanage caregivers and several foster children as research informants. Data collection uses three approaches, namely observation, interviews and documentation. Meanwhile, data analysis uses three models, namely data reduction, data exposure, and drawing conclusions. The results of the research concluded that interpersonal communication among caregivers at the Putra Utama 3 Children's Social Home is something that is fundamentally implemented and represents all forms of action carried out through moral development. This is realized by social care caregivers through moral development efforts, both verbal and nonverbal. So, the obstacles faced during moral development can be resolved well.
