Pedagogically Informed ICT Integration and Students’ Academic Learning in Islamic Education at Dato Harun National Secondary School

The widespread use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in this century plays an important role in the delivery of information to society, particularly in the education sector. The integration of technology is now viewed as a necessity in the teaching and learning (T&L) process in the classroom. Along with the rapid development of global technology, ICT functions as an effective medium that can enhance student engagement, interaction, and learning motivation. The use of digital tools, multimedia resources, and interactive platforms is believed to create a more dynamic learning environment and improve students’ understanding of subject content. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the concept of ICT integration in the subject of Islamic Education in secondary schools. In addition, this study aims to evaluate the level of effectiveness of student achievement at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Dato Harun for the subject of Islamic Education. This study also proposes improvements to the use of ICT as a strategy to enhance the academic achievement of secondary school students in Islamic Education. The design of this study is quantitative in nature and focuses on collecting measurable data related to students’ perceptions and learning outcomes. The study findings were obtained through questionnaires and supported by relevant past studies. A total of 100 students from Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Dato Harun were selected as respondents. The questionnaire was used as the main instrument to collect data, which was then analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 29 software through descriptive statistical methods. Therefore, it is hoped that this study can contribute to initiatives aimed at improving the effectiveness of the education system through the application of information technology and subsequently have a positive impact on the teaching and learning process of Islamic Education.
