Abstract
The adoption of digital education in several institutions has quickened due to the swift advancement of information and communication technologies. Government initiatives like Merdeka Belajar and a variety of educational platforms, online and hybrid learning methods are growing in popularity. While digital education enables larger accessibility, questions arise regarding the erosion of humanistic values in the educational process. A teacher-student relationship that is weakened by technology use may have a detrimental impact on humanistic elements including empathy, communication, and character development. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method through a literature review. A thorough synthesis of the problem was compiled using a variety of sources, including books, reports, and journals. By analysing the chosen literature critically, the study upholds its validity. The findings suggest that although digital education offers increased flexibility and accessibility, there are noteworthy obstacles associated with a "humanism crisis." The limited human interaction in online learning may damage students' social and emotional development. This article suggests creating curricula that combine digital technology and humanistic principles, as well as creating learning environments that encourage individual and group communication. Digital education can advance further without compromising the fundamental humanistic principles of education provided the appropriate strategy is adopted. Despite the advent of a multitude of digital distractions, Generation Z, being digital natives, may adjust to digital education through the use of diverse technology.
