Abstract

The widespread use of digital media has reshaped students' access to religious knowledge while simultaneously increasing exposure to misinformation and religious extremism. Consequently, strengthening digital Islamic literacy has become increasingly important in promoting religious moderation among students. This study aims to investigate the relationship between digital Islamic literacy and students' attitudes toward religious moderation in Islamic senior high schools in Indonesia. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 487 students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings demonstrate that digital Islamic literacy positively influences students' understanding of Islamic teachings, critical evaluation of online religious information, tolerance toward diversity, and rejection of extremist narratives. Students with higher levels of digital literacy exhibit significantly stronger attitudes toward peaceful coexistence and inclusive religious perspectives. The study further identifies teachers' digital competence and school culture as important mediating factors. The novelty of this research is the development of an integrated conceptual model linking digital Islamic literacy, critical religious reasoning, and religious moderation, offering empirical evidence for strengthening Islamic education in the digital era.

Abstract

Assessment in Islamic Religious Education has traditionally focused on measuring cognitive achievement, often neglecting students’ affective and behavioral competencies. This study aims to develop an authentic assessment model capable of comprehensively evaluating students’ knowledge, attitudes, skills, and religious practices. A research and development methodology employing the Borg and Gall model was utilized. The study involved curriculum experts, Islamic education teachers, and secondary school students during instrument development, validation, pilot implementation, and evaluation stages. Data were analyzed using content validity, reliability testing, and descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that authentic assessment using portfolios, reflective journals, project evaluations, self-assessment, peer assessment, and performance tasks provides a more comprehensive understanding of students’ learning outcomes. Teachers also reported greater effectiveness in monitoring students’ character development, religious practice, and collaborative skills. The assessment model aligns well with competency-based curricula and supports continuous learning improvement. The novelty of this study lies in constructing a Holistic Authentic Assessment Framework specifically designed for Islamic Religious Education, integrating cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and spiritual domains into a unified evaluation system

Abstract

This study aims to develop a conceptual framework of Green Islamic Education by integrating Islamic environmental ethics into Islamic Religious Education (IRE) to strengthen environmental responsibility and support sustainable development. The study employs a qualitative library research method through conceptual analysis and synthesis of relevant literature on Islamic environmental ethics, Islamic education, environmental education, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), and ecological pedagogy. The findings demonstrate that Islamic education can foster environmental responsibility through the principles of tawhid, khalifah, amanah, mizan, maslahah, and the prohibition of environmental destruction. The analysis further shows that these principles become pedagogically effective when integrated into curriculum, experiential and project-based learning, environmental literacy, institutional culture, assessment, and community engagement. The novelty of this study lies in proposing an integrated Green Islamic Education framework that connects Islamic theological values, environmental literacy, transformative pedagogy, sustainable behavior, institutional practice, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within IRE. The framework positions environmental responsibility as an integral dimension of Islamic faith, character formation, and educational practice
