Abstrak

The development of digital technology has transformed the landscape of modern education, encompassing administrative management, online learning, and the utilization of artificial intelligence. This transformation offers significant opportunities in terms of efficiency, connectivity, personalized learning, and the enhancement of educational management quality. However, these advancements also pose serious challenges related to digital ethics, including privacy violations, algorithmic bias, data misuse, and inequitable access. In this context, the integration of digital ethics becomes crucial to maintain a balance between technological innovation and humanistic values in education. This study aims to explore the urgency of digital ethics in educational management and to formulate implementation strategies that prioritize the principles of transparency, accountability, inclusivity, and justice. The methodology employed is qualitative, based on a literature study, with thematic analysis of various recent research, policy reports, and reputable academic literature. The findings indicate that digital ethics is not merely a technical guideline but a moral foundation that ensures technology is used responsibly. The integration of humanistic values, such as empathy, honesty, responsibility, and character development, has been shown to be key in preventing the dehumanization of education. Moreover, multi-stakeholder collaboration among educators, learners, institutions, policymakers, and the community is considered essential for fostering a healthy and sustainable digital culture. In conclusion, educational management grounded in digital ethics is necessary to make technology not only an instrument of efficiency but also a means of strengthening humanistic values, while ensuring equitable access, social justice, and the quality of learning in the digital era.
