Integrasi Penerapan Moderasi Beragama dalam Pegembangan Kurikulum Pendidikan Agama Islam

Abstract

In the midst of the strengthening of the discourse on character education, religious moderation, and countering religious radicalism and terrorism, the study of Islamic religious education in public schools based on Islamic boarding schools is interesting to do. In this context, various problems arise related to the material and content of the Islamic religious education curriculum (PAI). Education under pesantren is no longer directed at the mastery of religious knowledge but also general science. This of course has an impact on shifting curriculum content and its implementation. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach based on empirical phenomena. Data were collected through interviews, involved observations, questionnaires, documentation, and literature review. This research produces a model for implementing religious moderation education through the development of the PAI curriculum to present a moderate Islamic movement among students that teaches: (1) building tolerance among different groups of students, both outside Islam and within Islam; (2) spreading peace in their social environment; (3) prioritizing interfaith dialogue and (4) instilling openness with outside parties and 4) rejecting hate speech (hoaxes) both inside and outside schools. This study recommends the importance of teaching and practicing religious moderation among students to present moderate Islamic movements and habituation of noble morals.
