Abstract

This qualitative case study explores the conceptualization and integration of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) among Islamic Education (PAI) teachers. It investigates how Islamic education teachers perceive and plan for technology integration in their teaching. Through in-depth interviews with five secondary school PAI teachers and principals across four schools in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar, data were analyzed using qualitative coding techniques and a composite narrative strategy. Findings indicate that teachers and principals unanimously acknowledge the necessity and benefits of technology in PAI learning for student engagement and improved understanding. While teachers actively create digitized instructional materials and incorporate technology into their lesson plans (RPP), explicit awareness and understanding of the formal TPACK framework remain limited among most participants. Despite this, their pedagogical practices implicitly align with TPACK principles, utilizing various technologies to enrich learning. This study highlights a gap between implicit technological pedagogical content knowledge and explicit theoretical understanding. The research contributes valuable insights into the current state of TPACK integration in PAI, underscoring the importance of further professional development to formalize theoretical knowledge and optimize technology use in Islamic education
