Abstract

Character education is very important to build people who are not only intellectually intelligent but also have high social and moral sensitivity. Character education is very important to create social order in community life amidst the diversity of religions and cultures that distinguish Indonesians. Religious moderation is an important concept in building harmony in a diverse society, especially in the world of education. This research aims to examine the role of religious moderation in shaping students' peaceful and tolerant characters. The main reason for this research is the increasing global challenges such as radicalism and intolerance that can disrupt social stability, so an educational strategy is needed that can instill the values of diversity and respect for differences.This research uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach to analyze how religious moderation values such as tolerance, justice, and balance can be applied in learning and school life. The results show that the integration of religious moderation values in the curriculum and school culture contributes positively to the formation of a more inclusive and harmonious student character. In addition, the role of teachers as role models and facilitators greatly determines the success in instilling these values.The conclusion of this study confirms that education based on religious moderation is an effective strategy in building a generation that has a tolerant attitude, respects differences, and is able to contribute to creating a peaceful and civilized society. Therefore, systematic and sustainable efforts in education are needed to strengthen the values of religious moderation among students.
