Pandawan Sejahtera Indonesia en-US Jurnal MENTARI: Manajemen, Pendidikan dan Teknologi Informasi 2963-4423 https://journal.pandawan.id/mentari/article/view/899 <p>Amidst the rapid adoption of technology in education, a crucial challenge arises regarding the risk of dehumanizing learning. This study examines Orange Technology as a humanistic innovation approach that seeks to balance digital advancement with human values. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research analyzes literature from academic journals and technology education reports, which are then evaluated through a SWOT framework. The analysis results indicate that while Orange Technology holds significant potential to enhance students’ mental well being, digital empathy, and emotional engagement, its implementation faces significant challenges, including limited human resources and inadequate ethical regulations. Therefore, it is concluded that the success of this implementation requires a holistic strategy encompassing investment in human resource training, policy development, and interdisciplinary collaboration. This innovation model has strategic relevance to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 (Quality Education). By focusing on character development and mental well-being, this research contributes to creating an education system that is not only efficient but also inclusive, equitable, and relevant to the holistic needs of future generations.</p> Shesilia Wibowo Irene Apriani Widjaya Jihan Zanubiya Richard Evans Untung Rahardja Copyright (c) 2026 Shesilia Wibowo, Irene Apriani Widjaya, Jihan Zanubiya, Richard Evans, Untung Rahardja https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 2026-01-23 2026-01-23 4 2 105 115 10.33050/mentari.v4i2.899 https://journal.pandawan.id/mentari/article/view/930 <p>The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has created new opportunities to enhance inclusive learning across diverse educational contexts. In Islamic educational institutions, the adoption of AI presents a dual responsibility to embrace technological innovation while ensuring alignment with Sharia based ethical principles that emphasize justice, accountability, and respect for human dignity. This study investigates how AI is utilized to support inclusive learning within Islamic education settings in Southeast Asia using a qualitative descriptive approach with a multi-site case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with teachers, school leaders, and IT developers from selected Islamic educational institutions and analyzed using thematic coding techniques. The findings reveal that AI contributes positively to inclusive learning by enabling adaptive instruction, personalizing learning content, facilitating early identification of learning barriers, and supporting data-driven decision-making. When implemented within Sharia-compliant ethical frameworks, AI enhances fairness, balanced participation, and student engagement. However, the study also identifies several challenges, including limited content filtering mechanisms, insufficient data privacy governance, and the risk of algorithmic bias that may unintentionally marginalize certain student groups. This research highlights the importance of ethical governance and value-based AI design to ensure that AI adoption in Islamic education remains equitable, inclusive, and contextually appropriate. The findings provide strategic implications for institutional policy development, curriculum planning, and the long-term governance of AI-driven educational systems within Islamic educational environments.</p> Ninda Lutfiani Kanon Mommsen Wongkar Tatik Mariyanti Rifqa Nabila Muti Noah Rangi Copyright (c) 2026 Ninda Lutfiani, Kanon Mommsen Wongkar, Tatik Mariyanti, Rifqa Nabila Muti, Noah Rangi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 2026-01-30 2026-01-30 4 2 116 126 10.33050/mentari.v4i2.930
