Strengthening Religious Moderation to Counter Radicalism among Islamic Education Teachers In Surabaya Schools
Keywords:
Radicalism, Religious Moderation, and PAI TeachersAbstract
This article aims to describe the strengthening of religious moderation as a strategy to counter religious radicalism among Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in schools across Surabaya. The threat of religious radicalism in Indonesia continues to pose a serious risk to society across all professional sectors, including Islamic Religious Education teachers. This study adopts a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, with data collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, document analysis, and focused group discussions involving 20 informants. The research explores the dynamics of radicalism and religious moderation among PAI teachers in schools throughout Surabaya. The findings indicate that prior to the intervention aimed at strengthening religious moderation, the cognitive tendency toward radicalism among PAI teachers was categorized as high (83%), while their tendency toward religious moderation was also high (85%). Following a mentoring process in the form of religious moderation training, the tendency toward radicalism decreased to a low level (55%), while the tendency toward religious moderation significantly increased to a very high level (97%). These results highlight the crucial role of continuous mentoring and training programs in enhancing religious moderation among PAI teachers and the wider community. Such efforts are essential to cultivating a moderate understanding and attitude toward religion and rejecting religious radicalism. Given their strategic position, PAI teachers are key actors in delivering religious education to students
