STRATEGI PEMBELAJARAN PAI DALAM PENGUATAN MODERASI BERAGAMA PADA ERA DIGITAL DI SMA NEGERI 2 SANGGAR

Abstract

This research is motivated by the important role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in shaping students’ moderate character amid the rapid flow of information and the development of digital technology. In the digital era, students face challenges in the form of exposure to narrow and intolerant religious ideologies, making the strengthening of religious moderation an urgent necessity. This study aims to describe the learning strategies of Islamic Religious Education in strengthening religious moderation in the digital era at SMA Negeri 2 Sanggar, identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation, and analyze its impact on students’ attitudes toward moderation. This research employs a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and documentation, which are then analyzed using triangulation techniques to ensure data validity. The findings indicate that Islamic Religious Education learning strategies are implemented through contextual, collaborative, and integrative approaches by linking the values of wasathiyyah (moderation), tawazun (balance), and ta‘adul (justice) within learning activities. The main supporting factors include teachers’ competence and role modeling, curriculum support, and the utilization of digital technology, while the inhibiting factors include limited technological mastery, incomplete understanding of religious moderation, and the influence of online radicalism. Overall, the implementation of these strategies has a positive impact on students, making them more critical, tolerant, wise, and peace-loving.
