Abstract

Education is an important instrument, including in fostering love for the country. However, several studies show that there are special problems, especially regarding the perspective of education stakeholders on religious and national issues. This research aims to analyze the transformation of religious moderation as a solution to religious and national problems in the field of education. The research methodology uses qualitative methods and recording techniques with descriptive-analytical data analysis on religious moderation and educational mainstreaming. The results of this research found that education stakeholders tend to juxtapose religious interests and national interests. This is attributed to excessive (extremist) religious perspectives, attitudes, and practices, claims of absolute truth in interpreting religion, and religious fervor that contradicts the ideology of Pancasila. Therefore, as one of the solutions to religious and national issues, religious moderation must be integrated into education. This can be achieved through prioritizing tolerance, designing learning experiences that develop multiple literacies, and intensifying multicultural education.
