Implementation of Islamic Religious Education Learning Multicultural Insight in Improving Religious Tolerance

Abstract

This study aims to determine the implementation of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning with a multicultural perspective in improving the attitude of religious tolerance of class X students at SMAN 3 Purwokerto. The background of this study is based on the importance of implementing a multicultural approach in religious education to form an inclusive understanding of religious differences in a pluralistic society. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation of PAI teachers and Muslim and non-Muslim students. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of PAI learning with a multicultural perspective significantly encourages an increase in students' understanding of religious diversity, forms an attitude of mutual respect, and encourages the creation of constructive interfaith dialogue. Teachers play an important role in creating an inclusive learning space, while school and parental support also strengthen the learning process. In conclusion, a multicultural approach in PAI learning effectively forms students' attitudes of religious tolerance and can be an important strategy in building a harmonious and inclusive society.
