Strengthening Religious Moderation in Islamic Religious Education Through Multidisciplinary, Interdisciplinary, and Transdisciplinary Approaches

Abstract

This study exmines the strengthening of religious moderation in Islamic religious education through multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approaches. Religious moderation is an essential foundation for building harmony in a pluralistitc society, Islamic education often often remains centered on normative and doctrinal teaching that lacks contextual relevance. The qualitative library research method was used to analyze literature related to Islamic education, religious moderation, and integrated learning approaches. The multidisciplinary approach enriches religious understanding by involving various fields of knowledge. The interdisciplinary approach integrates concepts across disciplines into a unified framework, allowing moderation to be internalized conceptually. The transdisciplinary approach places learners directly in social interaction, enabling the practice and embodiment of moderation in real-life contexts. The findings indicate that the synergy of these three approaches contributes to the formation of open, critical, and tolerant learners who are able to interact harmoniously in diverse social settings. The study concludes that the transformation of Islamic education through these approaches is essential to ensure its relevance and effectiveness in addressing contemporary challenges.
