Abstrak

The development of digital media has opened up new opportunities for Islamic education to provide more adaptive and reflective learning spaces. In the context of Islamic boarding schools, blogs have the potential to become an educational medium that instills spiritual, psychological, and ecological values ​​in a sustainable manner. However, research on the function of Islamic blogs as ecopedagogical spaces is still limited. This study aims to analyze the implementation of PsikoTalk as an Islamic digital media in supporting the psychological and spiritual sustainability of students through an ecopedagogical perspective. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of students' activities while accessing PsikoTalk. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify patterns of experience related to self-awareness, emotional calm, and value formation. The results show that PsikoTalk contributes to three main aspects. (1) this blog improves students' psychological sustainability through increased self-awareness, decreased academic anxiety, and improved emotional regulation based on Islamic reflective techniques. (2) PsikoTalk strengthens spiritual sustainability through the practice of gratitude journaling, prayer before studying, and self-reflection. (3) PsikoTalk fosters ecological awareness by encouraging environmentally friendly behaviors such as waste reduction and the use of green spaces. Overall, PsikoTalk functions as a “digital silent space” that integrates inner calm, spiritual depth, and ecological ethics
