Degradasi Adab Siswa Terhadap Guru Di Era Digitalisasi: Studi Kasus Etika Komunikasi Dan Penyerapan Teknologi Di Smpn 3 Pakenjeng
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The development of digital technology has significantly transformed the ways students communicate and interact, including with their teachers. This conceptual study examines the phenomenon of adab degradation, namely the decline of respectful conduct, among students toward teachers in the digital era, taking SMPN 3 Pakenjeng, Garut Regency, as a contextual case. The study uses a qualitative descriptive approach that combines literature review and preliminary field observation of students' digital communication patterns, analyzed through four Islamic education perspectives, namely the concept of Ta'dib and loss of adab by Al-Attas, Ta'zhim al-Ustadz by Az-Zarnuji, Tazkiyatun Nafs by Al-Ghazali, and Bi'ah by Ibnu Khaldun. The findings indicate that adab degradation appears in three main forms: informal and less respectful communication through WhatsApp, the use of social media that risks eroding teachers' dignity, and a shift in how students perceive teachers as sources of knowledge amid the availability of search engines and artificial intelligence. These changes are influenced by the digital environment, peer influence, the desire for social recognition, and the blurring boundary between formal and informal communication. The study concludes that technology itself is not the sole cause of declining adab; rather, the absence of adab-based digital literacy is the more fundamental problem. A contextual strategy is proposed, comprising digital communication guidelines, habituation of adab, adab-based digital literacy, teacher exemplary conduct (uswah), and collaboration between school and family. Keywords: student adab, digital communication ethics, Islamic education, digitalization era, teacher-student relationship
