Promoting religious moderation in islamic religious education in the digital age

Curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment strategies

Abstract

This article discusses the strengthening of religious moderation in Islamic Religious Education learning in the digital era. This topic is important because students encounter fast, open, and not always verified religious information. Islamic Religious Education should strengthen faith, moral character, digital literacy, and critical reasoning. This study applies a library research method by reviewing policies, books, and relevant academic articles. The findings show that religious moderation can be integrated through learning objectives, content, teaching methods, digital media, and attitude assessment. The four indicators of moderation, namely national commitment, tolerance, anti-violence, and acceptance of local traditions, can be translated into contextual learning activities. Islamic Religious Education teachers act as learning designers, dialogue facilitators, digital source curators, and role models of respectful religious practice. This article proposes practical strategies such as digital case analysis, peaceful religious content projects, evidence-based discussions, and moderation attitude rubrics.
