Abstract

Indonesia is known as a pluralist and multicultural country. This can be clearly proven from the geographical location and sociocultural conditions that are so complex and diverse. The form of multiculturalism consists of a large number of heterogeneous ethnic, cultural and religious groups. The importance of multicultural education is given in the hope that they will be able to understand that within their environment and also in other environments there is cultural diversity. Cultural diversity affects human behavior, attitudes, mindsets so that these humans have ways (usage), habits (folk ways), rules (mores) and even customs (customs) that are different from each other. If the difference cannot be understood well and accepted wisely, then conflicts (such as fights between students) will easily occur both in the educational environment and in the community environment. Especially now that it is entering a digital era where all levels of society can access information quickly and widely. If the value of multicultural education is not emphasized, there will be massive divisions due to hoax news that spreads. Therefore, it is necessary to embed multicultural education in the educational environment to avoid this. Based on this reality, the focus of this study is 1) what are the values of multicultural education as religious moderation in Indonesia? 2) how is the implementation of multicultural education as religious moderation in Indonesia?

This research uses a qualitative type of research with a descriptive approach. The results showed 1) The values of multicultural education as religious moderation in Indonesia include: learning to live in differences, building mutual trust, maintaining mutual understanding, upholding mutual respect, being open in thinking, appreciation and interdependence, conflict resolution and violent reconciliation. 2) Implementation of multicultural education as religious moderation, namely by applying democracy, humanism and tolerance as well as multicultural learning of Islamic Religious Education (PAI).
