" التربية العربية بين الأصالة والمعاصرة: دور المرجعية الدينية في تنشئة الطفل في ظل التحول الرقمي

Abstract

Digital transformation represents one of the most significant contemporary challenges facing educational systems, due to the profound shifts it has caused in knowledge sources, learning media, and patterns of cultural and social interaction. This challenge becomes particularly acute within Arab educational contexts, where societies are grounded in deeply rooted religious and moral frameworks that serve as the foundation for shaping children's identity and moral upbringing. This paper aims to analyze the role of religious and moral reference in preserving the educational identity of the Arab child amid the growing exposure to digital media and its associated cognitive and behavioral effects. The research is driven by a central question: How can religious reference contribute to adapting Arab education to the demands of the digital age without compromising authentic values? To address this question, the study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach by surveying educational literature, analyzing the Arab educational reality, and interpreting the impact 2 of digital transformations on this context. The findings reveal the necessity of activating religious reference in shaping the value system of the Arab child, despite the challenges posed by the open digital environment. The results further highlight the need to restructure educational practices in ways that allow for the integration of technology while remaining aligned with cultural and moral specificities. The study recommends the development of digital educational policies grounded in religious reference, the enhancement of family and educational awareness, and the creation of targeted digital content that reinforces identity and ethical values within an interactive educational framework.
