Abstract

Background: The dominance of conservative religious narratives on social media often triggers exclusivism and intolerance, especially among the younger generation. On the other hand, digital media such as podcasts are beginning to be used as alternative spaces for conveying religious messages reflectively and inclusively. Objectives: This study aims to analyse the representation of religious moderation values in the podcast as a form of reflective and contextual digital religious communication. Method: This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with two analytical methods: thematic analysis using Taguette software and John Fiske's semiotic analysis as a theoretical framework for interpreting symbols and messages in podcast dialogues. Results: The eight central values of religious moderation, tawassuth, tasamuh, i'tidal, syura, anti-violence, tathawwur wa ibtikâr, tasdid, and wasathiyyah, are symbolically and contextually represented through reflective narratives, equal communication, and empathetic discussions between the speakers. Conclusion: Escape podcast episode 5 represents an adaptive narrative of religious moderation, bridging conservatism and religious liberalism, and opening up space for negotiating the meaning of Islam that is more relevant to the lives of the younger generation. Originality/Value: This study provides theoretical and methodological novelty in the field of digital Islamic communication and new media studies by revealing the symbolic and contextual representation of eight core religious moderation values (tawassuth, tasamuh, i'tidal, syura, nonviolence, tathawwur wa ibtikar, tasdid, and wasathiyyah) articulated through reflective narratives, egalitarian communication, and empathetic dialogue regarding religious moderation as an adaptive narrative bridging conservatism and religious liberalism within the context of online podcast interactions targeting the younger generation, an area that has previously received limited academic attention compared to one-way or text-based social media preaching. These findings enrich empirical evidence and serve as a strategic reference in designing inclusive, relevant, and contextual digital da'wah communication models in the era of media transformation.

Abstract

Background: The role of Islamic religious education teachers in fostering religious moderation among students has become increasingly urgent in today's diverse and dynamic social environment. Objective: This study aims to determine the urgency of the role of Islamic religious education teachers in fostering religious moderation in students at school. Method: The research uses a qualitative approach with a qualitative descriptive method. It was conducted at SMK Karsa Mulya Palangka Raya in 2024.

Abstract

Background: Conceptual ambiguity around religious moderation and tolerance persists in Indonesia’s plural society, complicating both discourse and practice. Objective: To clarify the meanings and limits of religious moderation and tolerance through a focused review. Method: This library research, conducted in 2023, used documentation to gather sources and applied Miles and Huberman’s stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Results: The literature converges on moderation as a middle path that aligns religious commitment with local wisdom and civic coexistence. Tolerance is framed as respectful acceptance of difference within legal and ethical boundaries. Moderation delineates boundaries that avoid both relativism and extremism while encouraging reflective dialogue, empathy, and shared responsibility. Conclusion: Religious moderation functions as a culturally grounded strategy for sustaining social harmony in Indonesia, enabling principled faith practice alongside mutual respect in daily life. Originality/Value: This review article provides comprehensive conceptual and analytical novelty in the field of sociology of religion and multicultural policy by synthesizing scholarly developments concerning the conceptual ambiguities, boundaries, and working definitions of religious moderation and tolerance within Indonesia’s pluralistic society, which have previously received limited systematic review. This study maps existing theoretical and methodological gaps while serving as a strategic reference and contributing to the development of a culturally grounded conceptual framework and guiding future research agendas, including the establishment of empirical indicators for cross-regional and media evaluations, curriculum design, and social-religious policymaking.

Abstract

  Background: Strengthening religious moderation from elementary school is crucial for maintaining tolerance and preventing potential socio-religious conflicts. SDN 02 Bedono is a relevant context for examining how the values of moderation are instilled in upper-grade students. Objective: To analyze the form, process, and effectiveness of strengthening religious moderation in upper-grade students at SDN 02 Bedono as an effort to maintain tolerance and prevent socio-religious conflicts. Method: Qualitative research with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews and observations of learning practices and school culture, and then analyzed thematically to identify patterns of strengthening moderation values. Results: Students demonstrated a practical understanding of religious moderation that was internalized in their daily behavior. The reinforcement of values took place through a combination of formal approaches (learning activities and school programs) and habituation, with teachers playing the role of moral and social role models. Conclusion: Elementary schools hold a strategic position in shaping tolerant character; at SDN 02 Bedono, religious moderation has become an integral part of the school's social norms, as reflected in the interactions between students. Originality/Value: This case report provides significant empirical and practical contributions in the field of primary education and multicultural school culture management by documenting the value-internalization process and the formation of tolerant character among upper-grade students through an integration of formal curricula, school culture habituation, and teacher role-modeling regarding early cultivation of religious moderation to prevent potential socio-religious conflicts, which remains limitedly reported in primary school literature. This study provides deep contextual insights and serves as a strategic reference, contributing to the formulation of inclusive character-building models, school managerial decision-making, and addressing diversity challenges in similar primary education institutions.

Abstract

Background: This study examines the strategies employed at Pondok Pesantren Makrifatul Ilmi in South Bengkulu to prevent radicalism, a growing concern in educational institutions, especially Islamic boarding schools. Objective: The primary objective is to identify the steps taken by the pesantren to combat radicalization and to assess the factors that support and hinder these efforts. Method: A descriptive qualitative approach was employed to collect data through interviews, observations, and documentation. Result: The findings reveal that the pesantren implements three key strategies: religious functions, educational activities, and social engagement. Supporting factors include heightened student awareness, strong internal cooperation within the pesantren, and active parental involvement. However, the study also highlights several challenges, including students' diverse social backgrounds, varying interpretations of nationalism, and the pervasive influence of technology. Conclusion: While the pesantren's strategies for preventing radicalism are effective, overcoming these barriers requires sustained cooperation and adaptability. Originality/Value: This case report provides significant empirical and contextual novelty in the field of Islamic education and counter radicalism studies by documenting the institutional implementation of three core strategies encompassing religious functions, educational activities, and social engagement alongside the dynamics of supporting factors and localized challenges such as student diversity, varied interpretations of nationalism, and digital media influence regarding radicalism prevention in a regional Islamic boarding school, which remains limitedly documented in scholarship outside major educational hubs. This examination provides deep contextual insights and serves as a strategic reference, contributing to institutional decision making, the design of community based deradicalization initiatives, and the handling of similar vulnerability risks in Islamic boarding schools.
