Abstract
This study addresses the ethical crisis among students in the digital age by highlighting the failure of education in effectively bridging internal morality (Soul/Empathy) and external social action (Social Ethics). Using a Qualitative Literature Study (Content Analysis) on 30 academic documents, this study constructs a new theoretical framework. The core findings are the Adab-Centered Instrumental Model, validated through the Dialectical Synthesis of Adab (Moral Compass) and John Dewey's Experiential Learning (Action Method). This synthesis results in a Transformative Pedagogy that shapes Cyber-Morality, equipping learners with the moral resilience needed to participate responsibly in a digital and democratic society. This model makes a significant contribution to character education policy by transforming passive moral potential into active social virtue.
