Abstract

This study aims to analyze the integration of religious moderation values in Islamic Religious Education and Character Education textbooks at the senior high school level, particularly covering values of tolerance, justice, balance, and anti-radicalism reflected in the content, presentation, and instructional illustrations. This study employs a qualitative approach using content analysis, in which data are collected through documentation of textbooks used in senior high schools and analyzed descriptively through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that religious moderation values have been integrated into the textbooks through narrative content promoting interfaith tolerance, respect for diversity, and rejection of extremist ideologies; however, the integration remains largely implicit and has not been systematically and evenly distributed across all chapters, thus requiring further strengthening in the presentation of materials to ensure that religious moderation values are conveyed more explicitly, systematically, and comprehensively in order to support the development of moderate attitudes among students.
