<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze differences in students’ levels of religious moderation in Islamic Religious Education classes at the junior high school level in Indonesia. The study employs a comparative quantitative approach using a survey method. The sample consisted of 120 students selected through proportional random sampling. The research instrument consisted of a religious moderation questionnaire with 25 items covering four indicators: national commitment, tolerance, anti-violence, and accommodation of local culture. Analysis results showed that the average religious moderation score for students at State Junior High School 1 in Cilegon City was 82.45, while students at State Junior High School 3 in Cilegon City scored an average of 78.10. A comparison test using the Independent Samples t-test yielded a t-value of 3.214 with p = 0.002 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the two groups. These findings suggest that the level of religious moderation among students at State Junior High School 1 in Cilegon City is higher than that at State Junior High School 3 in Cilegon City. The implications and benefits of this study suggest that schools need to strengthen learning strategies based on dialogue and local culture. These results also serve as a basis for teachers and policymakers to improve religious moderation programs in a structured and sustainable manner.]]>
