The Society 5.0 era brings significant changes to various aspects of life, including education. Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers play a vital role in shaping students' character, ensuring they can control technology's negative influences and use it positively. This study aims to identify the challenges faced by PAI teachers in the Society 5.0 era and evaluate the strengthening of their competencies through the PAI Subject Teachers' Deliberation (MGMP) in Kutai Kartanegara, focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) integration. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with goal-setting theory guiding the intervention in a teacher training program. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with PAI teachers, participatory observation, and analysis of teaching materials produced during the training. The intervention involved AI-based applications like Google Docs' AI writing assistant for lesson planning and AI-driven tools for evaluating student performance. Thematic analysis was used to identify key patterns and themes regarding the challenges and opportunities in strengthening teacher competencies. The results showed that AI training improved the effectiveness and efficiency of teaching materials, marked by more interactive content, shorter preparation times, and better alignment with student needs. Additionally, there was a significant increase in student engagement during lessons, highlighting the success of AI technology in enhancing the learning process.

The aim of this research is to analyze the results of Islamic education research using a physics approach, analyze the learning of Islamic values through physics modules, and analyze students' Islamic character through a physics approach based on the integration of Islamic science. This research uses library research. Referring to the research objectives, findings, and results of the discussion in this research, it is concluded that the results of the analysis of Islamic education using a physics approach show that, first, the relationship between physics lessons and Islam, and second, the integration between Islam and physics contained in the verses of the Koran in textbooks. containing Islamic nuances with verses from the Koran and local wisdom can train students' religious character; third, students' understanding of the relationship between physics and Islamic education; fourth, learning Islamic values through physics modules can make students interested in studying physics, which is related to science. Islam, and fifth, the application of physics learning based on science-Islamic integration can improve students' learning outcomes and Islamic character. It is hoped that this research can make a positive contribution to more effective Islamic education in the realm of science integration as a foundation for the development of Islamic education in a multidisciplinary context.
