Abstract

Indonesia, as a multicultural country, faces serious challenges in maintaining social cohesion due to the increasing potential for conflicts based on intolerance. Islamic Religious Education, which has tended to be normative, is considered to be less than optimal in fostering religious moderation. This study aims to analyze the development of Islamic Religious Education materials based on multicultural values to strengthen religious tolerance and moderation, as well as to examine the role of teachers and school culture. The research uses a qualitative approach with a multisite study design at Panca Budi High School and Darussalam High School. Data collection was conducted through observation, in-depth interviews, and document studies. The results show that the integration of multicultural values into the curriculum and Islamic Religious Education materials is carried out systematically by emphasizing the social dimensions of Islam and applying contextual and dialogical learning strategies. Teachers act as agents of moderation who build an inclusive classroom climate, supported by a school culture that affirms the value of diversity through institutional policies and practices. These findings reinforce multicultural education theory and offer a model for developing an Islamic Religious Education curriculum that is adaptive to the realities of a pluralistic society and relevant to teachers and education policymakers.

Abstract

Arabic language learning in pesantren is not conducted solely through the formal curriculum but also through habituation processes that are internalized in the students’ daily lives. Bī’ah lughawiyyah functions as a language environment that serves as a hidden curriculum at Pesantren Ar-Raudlatul Hasanah, namely an implicit curriculum that shapes language competence in a natural and sustainable manner. This study aims to analyze the role of bī’ah lughawiyyah as a hidden curriculum and its influence on the improvement of students’ speaking ability (mahārat al-kalām). This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research participants consist of students, Arabic language instructors, and pesantren administrators. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of language-related activities. The data were analyzed thematically through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with data validity strengthened through source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that bī’ah lughawiyyah functions as a hidden curriculum through Arabic language policies, the exemplary practices of instructors, the habituation of communication in daily pesantren life, and non-formal social reinforcement. These practices contribute positively to the enhancement of students’ kalām ability, particularly in terms of speaking confidence, fluency, and spontaneity in oral communication. The findings confirm that bī’ah lughawiyyah as a hidden curriculum plays a strategic role in Arabic language acquisition. Therefore, optimizing the language environment should be positioned as an integral component of Arabic language curriculum development in pesantren.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the strategies for implementing the Merdeka Curriculum based on Islamic values at elementary school Anbata Medan and to examine its impact on students’ religious character formation. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through participatory classroom and school-culture observations, in-depth interviews with the principal, teachers, and students, and document analysis of the operational curriculum and teaching modules. Data analysis followed interactive qualitative analysis techniques without the use of specific statistical software. Main Findings: The findings reveal that Islamic values are integrated through three main pathways: curriculum planning by embedding tawhid and adab into learning objectives and modules; co-curricular P5 projects, particularly “Building Body and Soul,” implemented through spiritual habituation and moral studies; and a school ecosystem that reinforces religious character through congregational prayer, Qur’anic memorization, and courteous school culture as a hidden curriculum. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a novel integrative model demonstrating how the Merdeka Curriculum can be operationalized as a value-based character education framework grounded in Islamic principles at the elementary level. It advances existing knowledge by illustrating the synergy between formal curriculum planning, P5 projects, and school culture in shaping holistic religious character.
