Pengaruh Lingkungan Sekolah Terhadap Moderasi Beragama Siswa SMP Negeri 3 Malang Perspektif Pendidikan Agama Islam

Abstract

Indonesia's religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity, united under Pancasila, is a national asset that can also trigger conflict if it is not managed wisely. Religious moderation is promoted as an approach to prevent the spread of views that contradict religious teachings and national values, and the school is a strategic environment for instilling it. This study aims to determine the effect of the school environment on the religious moderation attitudes of ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Malang from the perspective of Islamic Religious Education. The study employed a quantitative correlational approach. Data were collected from 120 students through a four-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analysed with descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, and a t-test using SPSS. The results show that both the school environment (mean = 3.72) and students' religious moderation attitudes (mean = 3.66) are in the very good category. The school environment has a positive and significant effect on religious moderation attitudes (t-count = 10.924 > t-table = 1.980; p < 0.05), with the regression equation Y = 14.123 + 1.884X. The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.503) indicates that the school environment explains 50.3% of the variation in students' religious moderation attitudes, while the remaining 49.7% is explained by other factors outside this study.
