Abstract

Multicultural education plays a vital role in enhancing religious tolerance within Islamic Religious Education (IRE), particularly in Indonesia, where religious exclusivism and intolerance remain ongoing challenges. The objective of this research was to explore the understanding and application of multicultural values in Islamic Religious Education among junior high school and madrasa students. A mixed-method approach was utilized, combining qualitative and quantitative analysis to gain a comprehensive understanding of the issue. Through open-ended interviews and surveys, data were collected from students in two junior high schools in Cilegon and one madrasa in Serang, Indonesia. The qualitative data were analyzed using a descriptive-exploratory approach, while quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. The study found that integrating religious education with multicultural values fostered a strong sense of interfaith tolerance, cultural appreciation, and inclusivity. This integration helped students embrace diversity, respect differences, and build mutual trust, thereby minimizing conflicts and promoting a harmonious learning environment. The findings underscore the significance of effective multicultural education in shaping an inclusive Islamic education system, ultimately enhancing both the social and academic outcomes of students in Indonesia.

Abstract

Character education is a central concern in Islamic elementary schools as they are expected to cultivate students’ religious values alongside nationalist attitudes and social responsibility in an increasingly complex social context. This study aims to examine the implementation of nationalist character education and social care education, including the strategies employed, challenges encountered, and outcomes achieved in an Islamic Elementary School. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method with a case study design and collected data through in-depth interviews and document analysis. The findings indicate that nationalist character education has been systematically integrated into school culture through routine activities such as flag ceremonies, morning assemblies, and the practice of national songs, thereby effectively fostering students’ sense of national identity. In contrast, social care education is implemented mainly through community-based programs, including charitable activities such as distributing rice packages to underprivileged communities. However, the study also reveals persistent challenges in strengthening students’ social sensitivity, particularly regarding environmental cleanliness and empathy toward others. These results highlight an imbalance between the development of nationalist values and social care behaviors. This research implies that Islamic educational institutions need more holistic and consistent strategies to integrate nationalist character education and social care within Islamic education curricula to enhance students’ moral, civic, and social responsibility.
