Abstract

This study aims to analyze research trends and the effectiveness of social media use in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning for the 2021-2026 period. The study used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by reviewing and synthesizing various relevant scientific articles from the Google Scholar and Garuda databases. A total of 10 articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research was analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that WhatsApp, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram are the most widely used platforms in PAI learning. The use of social media has been shown to increase learning motivation, student participation, learning interactions, and ease of access to broader and more flexible learning resources. However, several obstacles were still identified, such as disruptions in social media use, limited digital competency of educators, lack of access to technology, and the need to verify religious information sources used in learning. The findings of this study indicate that social media has significant potential as an innovative, interactive, and adaptive Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning medium for developments in digital technology. Therefore, it deserves careful consideration in the practice of Islamic education at various levels of formal and non-formal education.
