MODERATE ISLAMIC EDUCATION AS AN EFFORT TO DERADICALIZE STUDENTS

Abstrak

The phenomenon of radicalism among students has become a serious concern in the world of Indonesian education. This study aims to examine the role of moderate Islamic education as an effort to deradicalize the school environment. Using a qualitative approach with literature study and document analysis methods, this study explores the concept of religious moderation in the context of education, the implementation of wasathiyah Islamic values in schools, as well as the challenges and effective strategies in implementing moderate Islamic education. The results of the study show that moderate Islamic education has a strategic role in shaping an inclusive, tolerant, and non-violent religious understanding among students. The implementation of moderate Islamic education requires a holistic approach that involves curriculum, dialogical learning methods, teacher competence, and educational ecosystem support. This study recommends strengthening religious literacy, developing critical thinking, and collaboration between schools, families, and communities in efforts to deradicalize through moderate Islamic education.
