Keywords:
Religious Moderation, Wasatiyyah, PAI, Systematic Literature ReviewAbstract
This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) in fostering religious moderation among students through a review of previous studies. The study employed a literature review method by analyzing twelve relevant research articles, consisting of journal publications, conference proceedings, and undergraduate theses focusing on religious moderation in Islamic Religious Education. The findings indicate that IRE plays a significant role in developing students’ attitudes of moderation through various strategies, including teacher role modeling, habituation, integration of moderation values into learning materials, dialogical learning, and the creation of an inclusive school environment. The values of religious moderation identified in the reviewed studies include tolerance (tasamuh), justice (i'tidal), deliberation (syura), patriotism (muwathanah), and respect for local culture (i'tiraf al-'urf). Furthermore, Islamic Religious Education teachers serve as educators, mentors, facilitators, and role models in the internalization of moderation values. The implementation of religious moderation in learning activities contributes positively to character development by fostering respect for diversity, social harmony, religious commitment, and resistance to extremist attitudes. Therefore, religious moderation-based Islamic Religious Education is considered an effective approach to preparing students to live harmoniously in a pluralistic society while maintaining their religious identity and national values.
