Abstract

This study aims to describe the lived experiences of NU and Muhammadiyah students in practicing religious moderation at UIN Sunan Kudus through a phenomenological approach. It reveals how students understand, internalize, and negotiate between their organizational religious doctrines and the demands of constructive dialogue within the dynamics of campus social life. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through in-depth interviews using purposive sampling techniques, participatory observation, and documentation involving students affiliated with NU and Muhammadiyah organizations. The validity of the data was ensured through triangulation of sources, methods, and theories. Data were analyzed through the processes of reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that NU and Muhammadiyah students are able to demonstrate inclusive awareness in interpreting the concept of religious moderation within the dynamic context of pluralistic campus dialogue. The novelty of this study confirms that religious moderation is not only relevant in interreligious settings, but also significantly contributes to strengthening intra-religious moderation to prevent conflict and foster harmonious communities. It further recommends enhancing religious moderation programs through student-based activities.

Abstract

The prevalence of bullying in junior high schools has prompted the need for a values-based character education approach, particularly through the instillation of religious moderation values. This study aims to analyze how religious moderation values ​​can serve as a preventive measure against bullying behavior at Nurul Jadid Junior High School. The study employs a qualitative approach with a field research strategy, implemented through case studies that involve observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results show that activities that integrate moderate values, such as tolerance, empathy, justice, and deliberation, in both religious and social contexts contribute to shaping more inclusive student attitudes and to preventing discriminatory or aggressive behavior towards peers. In addition, teacher involvement, a dialogic learning structure, and a supportive school environment strengthen the value of religious moderation. This approach shows that religious moderation is not merely a normative concept but an educational practice lived in students' daily lives. This study concludes that the systematic and sustainable instillation of religious moderation values has the potential to create a safe and harmonious school climate, making it an effective long-term strategy for preventing bullying at Nurul Jadid Paiton Probolinggo Junior High School.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has created significant challenges and opportunities for Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in maintaining their educational identity while adapting to the demands of the digital era. This condition necessitates innovative learning transformations that integrate Islamic values with technological advancements through sociological approaches that consider social, cultural, and educational dynamics within pesantren communities. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the application of sociological approaches in transforming pesantren learning through digital platforms and to identify their implications for students’ academic and character development. This research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to examine and synthesize relevant scholarly publications on digital learning transformation, sociological perspectives in education, and pesantren development. The collected literature was analyzed thematically to identify key patterns, challenges, and outcomes associated with the implementation of cyber-based integrative learning models. The findings reveal that integrating digital platforms into pesantren education significantly enhances students’ technological competencies, learning effectiveness, academic performance, and access to broader knowledge resources. Furthermore, students demonstrate greater openness toward contemporary scientific knowledge while maintaining strong adherence to Islamic teachings and values. The interaction among students, educators, and digital technology fosters collaborative learning environments, strengthens social awareness, improves adaptability to educational changes, and supports the development of critical thinking skills. The study implies that the transformation of pesantren education through a sociological and cyber-based integrative approach not only contributes to academic advancement but also reinforces students’ Islamic identity, character formation, and social responsibility. These findings provide strategic insights for policymakers, pesantren leaders, and educators in designing sustainable digital learning systems that are both technologically adaptive and grounded in Islamic values.

Abstract

Islamic education today faces the challenge of declining social awareness and a growing sense of individualism among students. These conditions call for an educational model that balances academic knowledge, religious practice, and humanistic values. This study aims to analyze the implementation of humanistic Islamic education through the Asta Protas program and to describe the process of internalizing the values of harmony and love for humanity among students. The study uses a qualitative case study design at MTs Al Yakin Pungpungan. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving the head of the madrasa, teachers, program mentors, and students. Data analysis uses the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The research results show that Asta Protas serves as the main instrument for implementing humanist Islamic education through the culture of greetings, alms and charity, cooperation, social activities, teacher role modeling, habituation, and students' social experiences. The internalization of values is carried out through the stages of value transformation, value transaction, and value transinternalization, which increase students' empathy, tolerance, cooperation, social care, and responsibility. This study also found that a humanist madrasa culture emerged, marked by harmonious relationships between teachers and students, polite communication, and a conducive learning environment. These findings strengthen Abdurrahman Mas’ud's theory of humanist Islamic education, showing that integrating role modeling, habituation, social experience, and madrasa culture can be an effective means of fostering harmony and love for humanity.

Abstract

This study examines how Islamic eco-theological values are translated into environmental management practices in an Indonesian pesantren. The case of Pondok Pesantren Nurul Haramain was selected because its long-standing environmental initiatives, including reforestation, seedling nurseries, waste management, and ecological education provide a concrete setting for examining how religious values become institutional environmental practices. The study addresses a gap in the literature by analyzing not merely the normative presence of Islamic environmental values, but the institutional process through which these values are interpreted, legitimized, and transformed into managerial practices. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and were examined through thematic analysis. The findings reveal four interconnected dimensions of pesantren-based environmental management: theological legitimation through the concepts of khalifah, amanah, and mizan; role-model leadership by religious authorities; environmental education through curriculum, habituation, and learning spaces; and material ecological practices such as greening, seedling distribution, and waste management. The study contributes to Islamic education, pesantren studies, and faith-based environmental governance by conceptualizing pesantren environmental management as an institutional process that connects theology, authority, pedagogy, and ecological praxis.

Abstract

The digital globalization phenomenon has strengthened the role of online media in the spread of various ideas, including radicalism, which poses a significant challenge for Islamic boarding schools as centers of Islamic education. This research aims to evaluate students' digital literacy in addressing radicalism and to analyze variation in literacy levels by region and gender across six provinces on the island of Java. The research method used is a quantitative survey. The methodological stages consist of: (1) validation and reliability of digital literacy instruments based on the Ministry of Communication and Information framework; (2) determination of the population and equitable distribution of student samples by stratified random sampling in six regions; (3) data collection through a constructed online questionnaire; (4) systematic data processing through coding and cleaning; and (5) descriptive statistical analysis, comparison of mean and standard deviation scores, and score categorization for each demographic and gender variable. The study's results indicate that students are predominantly categorized as having "Intermediate" and "high" digital literacy levels across all regions. By gender, female students were more likely to be in the "high" category (31.5%) than male students (27.7%), while the "Intermediate" category was almost equally represented in both groups. However, the "low" and "very low" categories persist across all groups and regions, indicating that digital literacy challenges remain to be addressed. The implications of this study emphasize the need to integrate digital literacy into the curriculum and culture of pesantren education in a way that is responsive to current issues. Adaptive digital literacy programs have the potential to develop students' critical thinking skills, enhance their resilience to online radicalization, and foster religious moderation in the digital era.

Abstract

The crisis of leadership in Indonesia is marked by a weakening of moral integrity, the dominance of elite interests, low democratic accountability, social polarization, and the challenge of managing diversity. Although the study of religious leadership and moderation has advanced, the integration of Sundanese local wisdom with the moderate leadership paradigm remains limited. This research aims to analyze the symbolic meaning of the Lutung Kasarung legend and to formulate an authentic leadership framework relevant to religious moderation. The research uses a qualitative approach based on literature studies with the main source of Ajip Rosidi's work (2023) and literature from the last decade. The data were analyzed descriptively through Roland Barthes' mythological semiotics. The results show that Kamandaka figures embody integrity, justice, humility, empathy, deliberation, and collective responsibility, which align with the principles of religious moderation: tawassuṭ, tawāzun, tasāmuḥ, and i'tidāl. The novelty of the research lies in integrating semiotics, local wisdom, constitutional values, and religious moderation into a contextual leadership pedagogy. These findings confirm that local narratives can be an alternative learning resource to strengthen inclusive leadership in Islamic education.

Abstract

The present study aims to showcase in depth the unique role of Kiai (Islamic scholars) leadership in institutionalizing and disseminating the narrative of religious moderation in pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), and to explore the cultural strategies these schools use as effective bulwarks in deradicalization efforts. This study was designed with a qualitative, interpretive case study of several traditional and modern pesantren that played a central role in promoting tolerance in Banyuwangi, Indonesia. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with Kiai and senior santri (pesantren students), participant observation of teaching and learning activities, and documentation of Islamic boarding school records. Study findings demonstrate that the Kiai leadership in Blokagung was uniquely charismatic and collegial, successfully institutionalizing religious moderation through the integration of the Salaf and the modern era and the establishment of UIMSYA. His primary cultural strategy was to instill the values ​​of Aswaja (tawazun, tasammuh) as an ideological inoculation. The Kiai/Nyai became actors who built social resilience grounded in concern and guided the politics of akhlaqi. This made the Islamic boarding school an effective bastion of deradicalization, disseminating moderate narratives in a structured and legitimate manner. The study provides a theoretical framework that contextualizes traditional Kiai leadership as a model of indigenous leadership in counter-extremism, offering valuable insights for global public policy on the use of community-based educational institutions to foster social cohesion and counter-radicalism.

Abstract

Studies on religious moderation in Islamic education have predominantly approached moderation as a normative educational outcome, while giving limited attention to local culture as a pedagogical mechanism through which religious values are interpreted, experienced, and internalized in everyday life. This study examines the internalization of religious moderation as a manifestation of wasatiyyah through Islamic education in the Sasak community. It develops an Islamic pedagogical model grounded in local culture for the digital age. Existing studies have largely discussed religious moderation within normative educational frameworks while paying limited attention to local culture as a pedagogical mechanism of value internalization. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, data were collected through literature review and non-participant observation in pesantren, majelis taklim, and socio-cultural settings across Lombok Island, and analyzed thematically and interpretively. The findings reveal that religious moderation is internalized through socio-cultural pedagogical processes embedded in everyday community life. The moral modelling, habituative pedagogy, experiential learning, symbolic pedagogy, hidden curriculum, and community-based learning mechanisms embedded in traditional practices such as begibung, nyongkolan, and awig-awig, as well as cultural performances such as Gendang Beleq, Rebana Gending, and Wayang Sasak, are internalized to instill tolerance, deliberation, social balance, and collective responsibility. The novelty of this study lies in the formulation of an Islamic pedagogical model grounded in local culture that integrates these mechanisms in a single framework. The model offers a culturally based approach to strengthening religious moderation in contemporary Muslim societies.

Abstract

Research on religious moderation in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) has largely conceptualized religious moderation as either an educational outcome or a curricular program, while limited attention has been given to curriculum as an integrated value-transmission system encompassing philosophical, pedagogical, cultural, and leadership dimensions. This study aims to examine how the curriculum of Pesantren Al-Ikhlash, grounded in the salaf educational tradition, internalizes religious moderation through the integration of curriculum philosophy, curriculum structure, the study of kitab kuning (classical Islamic texts), sorogan and bandongan pedagogies, kiai leadership, the hidden curriculum, and institutional culture. The study employed an intrinsic qualitative case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis and were analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis. The findings reveal that religious moderation is not taught as a stand-alone subject but is systematically embedded throughout the curriculum as an integral education process. The study of kitab kuning provides the epistemological foundation for balanced religious understanding by exposing students to the diversity of classical Islamic scholarship and legitimate scholarly disagreement (ikhtilāf). Meanwhile, sorogan and bandongan function as pedagogical mechanisms for transmitting ethical conduct, intellectual humility, and respect for diversity, while kiai leadership, the hidden curriculum, and institutional culture reinforce value internalization through exemplary leadership and daily pedagogical practices. The study proposes a conceptual model that positions curriculum as an integrated means of transmitting ethical values, thereby extending Islamic curriculum theory by demonstrating that religious moderation constitutes a structural characteristic of the pesantren educational ecosystem rather than merely an instructional outcome. This model contributes to the advancement of value-based curriculum theory in Islamic education and offers a comprehensive framework for developing religious moderation curricula in Islamic educational institutions.
