Abstract

Methods – The conventional approach is considered inadequate, so this study aims to analyze and propose an integration between the values of Moral Faith, digital literacy, and Inquiry Learning methods as contextual solutions to form moral and digital resilience of students. This study uses a qualitative approach with a field study design that combines phenomenon analysis and literature study.

Findings – The data was collected through observation and in-depth interviews with students and teachers at Al-Ghozali High School Bangkalan, and supported by theoretical studies of the framework of Maqashid Shariah, John Dewey's Reflective Pedagogy, and Inquiry Based Learning. The findings of the study revealed that the integration of the three elements was very effective. The Maqashid Shariah framework successfully provides a strong and contextual justification of values, while Inquiry Learning acts as a “simulator” that trains learners to investigate evidence, analyze risks, and build strong arguments based on religious values before making decisions. The process of reflection ensures the internalization of values into a living ethical consciousness. The implications of the research emphasize the need to change the role of teachers to facilitators and adjustments to the PAI curriculum that are more applicable.

Limitations – The limitations of this study lie in the specific geographical scope (one school), so the generalization of the findings requires replication studies in a variety of more diverse contexts.

Value – This research lies in the synthesis between actual field data from a real social phenomenon with a solid theoretical framework, resulting in a complete and contextual integrative solution model. The integration between Maqashid Shariah, digital literacy, and Inquiry Learning tested in a field setting makes a significant contribution to the development of responsive PAI pedagogy in the digital era.
