Abstract

The phenomenon of intolerance and hate speech in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (Islamic elementary schools) is precipitated by a deficiency in understanding of diversity, an exclusionary environment, and the deleterious influence of social media. The present study aims to analyze the integration of religious moderation values into the Aswaja (Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah) curriculum, teachers' strategies for instilling moderation, and the impact on developing students' inclusive and reflective attitudes. A qualitative approach, employing a case study design, was utilized in this study. The data were collected through observation and interviews, analyzed using the Miles-Huberman-Saldana model, and validated through triangulation and member checks. The findings reveal that: The Aswaja curriculum has been found to comprehensively integrate the principles of tawassuth (moderation), tasamuh (tolerance), i'tidal (balance), and ukhuwah (brotherhood) into its content, objectives, and learning practices with the aim of preventing intolerance. Teachers' strategies for instilling moderation are implemented through curricular activities, such as discussions of Aswaja values, social reflection, and real-life connections. Co-curricular activities include reflective videos, simulations, and case studies. Extracurricular activities, such as joint ceremonies and IPPNu activities, round out the implementation of this strategy. The findings of this study demonstrate that Aswaja learning fosters social inclusiveness, reduces negative behaviors, develops reflective-empathic attitudes, and internalizes moderation values in students' daily lives. The study's findings indicate that the Aswaja curriculum plays a pivotal role in fostering intolerance prevention by integrating moderation values, multidimensional strategies, and the cultivation of inclusive attitudes. The efficacy of this curriculum is contingent upon the pedagogical competence of the teachers, the effectiveness of role modeling, and the implementation of reflective approaches. The present study makes a significant contribution to the field of social constructivism and transformative learning theories by offering an integrative model of curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular learning. This model is designed to instill religious moderation, tolerance, and inclusive attitudes.

Abstract

Inclusive education in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah faces three main challenges: informal policies without written regulations, improvised curricula without standardized guidelines, and dependence on teachers as compensatory actors. This study aims to analyze inclusive education practices in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, focusing on madrasah policies, the implementation of inclusive curricula, and teachers’ roles in supporting children with special needs. This research employed a qualitative case study at Private Islamic Primary School 30 Bustanul Ulum Ambulu. Data were collected through interviews, observations, documentation, and focus group discussions, and were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis with source-method triangulation to ensure the credibility of the findings. The study found that: 1) madrasah inclusive policies are based on empathy and social justice but remain institutionally unembedded, limiting services to children with mild special needs; 2) the inclusive curriculum is implemented informally through modification, differentiation, dual learning, and individualized assistance, depending on teachers’ pedagogical creativity in the classroom; and 3) teachers act as the main agents of inclusion through adaptation, assistance, motivation, emotional support, and family coordination, exceeding the support provided by the madrasah’s formal institutional system. This study concludes that inclusion in madrasah exists as an empathy-based socio-pedagogical practice but has not yet been institutionalized, making it dependent on teachers’ commitment and limited to children with mild special needs. This study recommends that madrasahs institutionalize inclusive education through written regulations, adaptive curricula, teacher training, accessible facilities, special assistant teachers, and family collaboration to ensure sustainable, measurable, and systemic services for children with special needs.
