Islamic Mobile Learning Innovation As a Transformation of Educational Media Technology in Islamic History
Abstract
Despite the rapid growth of mobile learning technology in education, there remains a significant gap in understanding how Islamic values can be systematically integrated into mobile learning platforms for Islamic history education, particularly in addressing the challenges of globalization and digital literacy among Muslim youth. This study aims to examine the concept of Islamic mobile learning as a transformative medium for teaching Islamic history, emphasizing the relevance of Islamic values as well as the opportunities and challenges of its implementation in the digital era. Employing a systematic literature review approach, this study analyzed 45 peer-reviewed articles from Google Scholar and Scopus databases published between 2018 and 2025, using predetermined inclusion criteria and thematic content analysis. The findings reveal three main categories: (1) conceptual frameworks showing Islamic mobile learning increases student engagement by 35-40% compared to traditional methods; (2) value integration patterns identifying tauhid, ethics, and adab as foundational elements in 89% of reviewed applications; and (3) implementation challenges categorized into infrastructure limitations (67% of studies), content validation needs (78%), and digital literacy gaps (54%). This study contributes to the theoretical development of technology-based Islamic education and provides practical implications for educators, application developers, and policymakers in implementing Islamic mobile learning strategies. Future research should focus on experimental studies measuring learning outcomes and developing standardized frameworks for Islamic content validation in mobile applications.
