Abstract

This study aims to formulate the construction of a ta’dib-based digital education paradigm from the perspective of Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas. The study is grounded in the challenges of digital education, which are not only related to the acceleration of information access and the use of learning technologies, but also to misinformation, the weakening of epistemic authority, declining academic integrity, and the crisis of adab in the use of technology. This research employs a qualitative approach with a library research design. The data were obtained from Al-Attas’s works and scholarly literature relevant to ta’dib, Islamic education, digital literacy, and technological ethics. The data were analyzed using content analysis with a descriptive-analytical approach. The findings show that ta’dib serves as the philosophical foundation of Islamic education by integrating knowledge, adab, and action in shaping civilized human beings. In the context of digital education, ta’dib functions as a normative-philosophical framework for reorganizing the relationship between human beings, knowledge, and technology. This paradigm positions technology as a wasilah, not a ghayah, and emphasizes adab-based digital literacy, the strengthening of epistemic authority, value-based learning, holistic assessment, and ethical technology governance. Thus, a ta’dib-based digital education paradigm can serve as an integrative framework for Islamic education that remains adaptive to technological development without losing its value orientation, adab, and educational objectives.
