Abstract

The development of technology in the 4.0 era changes the order of human thought and performance to be faster, more efficient, and more effective in different sectors of life, one of which is in finding information. Today's students are very closely related to the development of technology, especially social media. Social media has become close and important to search for one's self-identity and information. As a matter of fact, social media can be both positive and negative, including in building students' religious understanding. Thus, researchers were interested in mapping out religious sources and information. This is important to understand the flow of the development trend of radicalism and extremism among students, especially in West Sumatra and Riau. This study used a mix-method approach by using a survey method related to religious sources and information starting from where the sources are taken, what media are frequently used, how often and routinely these activities are, and how they prevent faulty understanding. The data collection techniques used in this study were document analysis, observations, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. This study is expected to result in a journal indexed in Scopus (international), Intellectual Property Right, Recommendation, and Research Report. This study will positively implicate the evaluation of university students' understanding of practicing religious moderation.
