Abstract

The importance of character education is growing in the digital age of rapid social and technical advancement. Due to their exposure to social media, members of Generation Z, who grew up in a digital age, are susceptible to problems including identity crisis, cyberbullying, and mental health disorders. Character education based on spirituality and digital literacy is needed to form a generation with integrity, responsibility, and mental balance. This research examines Jean Twenge's thoughts on the influence of technology on Generation Z's character and Al-Ghazali's thoughts on spirituality-based character education. The integration of these two perspectives aims to build a relevant character education curriculum for Generation Z in Indonesia. This research uses the library research review method and interpretative Twenge and Al-Ghazali's concept of character education. The focus is on mental health, digital ethics and spiritual morals as the main components of the curriculum. This method involves literature study and comparison of theories to formulate a curriculum that suits the needs of the younger generation in the modern era. The results show that this integrative curriculum concept is able to answer the challenges of character education in the digital era. Twenge emphasizes the importance of digital literacy, mental health management, and balance in the use of technology, while Al-Ghazali focuses on morals, purification of the soul, and spiritual connection with God. The curriculum includes three components: character education, digital literacy, and spiritual development, which are expected to create mental, moral, and spiritual balance in Generation Z students. The advantages of this concept are the holistic approach that combines technological development with moral and spiritual values, and the relevance to the challenges of the digital era. However, the implementation of this curriculum faces challenges, such as difficulties in implementation in a multicultural environment, limited teacher competence, and constraints on objective measurement of character education and spirituality. This research recommends testing the implementation of the curriculum in schools and pesantren to obtain empirical data. The development of measurement instruments is needed to assess students' character development and mental well-being. In addition, further research needs to consider the multicultural context and explore the use of technology in teaching. Long-term evaluation is also recommended to understand the impact of the curriculum on students' ability to face the challenges of adulthood. Keywords: Character Education, Curriculum Concept, Generation Z, Jean Twenge, Al Ghazali
