Integrating Religious Moderation and Pendalungan Cultural Literacy in SKI Instruction: A Case Study at MAN Lumajang

(Integrasi Moderasi Beragama dan Literasi Budaya Pendalungan dalam Pembelajaran SKI: Studi Kasus di MAN Lumajang)

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the integration of religious moderation and local cultural literacy in the learning of Islamic Cultural History at MAN Lumajang, including planning, implementation, impacts, as well as supporting factors and challenges. Method: Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design, this study involved SKI teachers, five students across grades 10–12, and the Deputy Principal of Madrasah for Curriculum as informants. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and documentation studies, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Findings: The research results show that this integration was intentionally designed into the madrasah's operational curriculum and lesson planning, and actively realized in classroom practice through the contextualization of the Wali Songo's da'wah and the local Pendalungan tradition. This integration has had a positive impact on students' tolerance, pride in local identity, and historical literacy. However, its implementation remains hampered by a lack of verified local historical references and qualitative, nonstandardized attitude assessment instruments. Contribution: The implication is that developing a moderation-based Islamic religious education curriculum requires a multiperspective perspective that connects policy, pedagogical practice, and student experiences. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in placing this integrated study within the unique sociocultural context of Pendalungan, Lumajang, a context rarely explored in previous research on local wisdom and religious moderation. Future Research: Further research is recommended to use a quantitative or mixed-method approach to develop and validate standardized instruments to measure students' religious moderation attitudes in a wider range of madrasas with similar complex sociocultural characteristics.

Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji integrasi moderasi beragama dan literasi budaya lokal dalam pembelajaran Sejarah Kebudayaan Islam (SKI) di MAN Lumajang, mencakup perencanaan, implementasi, dampak, serta faktor pendukung dan tantangannya. Metode: Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus deskriptif, penelitian ini melibatkan guru SKI, lima siswa lintas kelas 10–12, dan Wakil Kepala Madrasah Bidang Kurikulum sebagai informan. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur, observasi kelas, dan studi dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis melalui tahap reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa integrasi ini dirancang secara sengaja dalam kurikulum operasional madrasah dan perencanaan pembelajaran, serta terealisasi secara aktif dalam praktik kelas melalui kontekstualisasi dakwah Wali Songo dan tradisi lokal Pendalungan. Integrasi ini berdampak positif terhadap sikap toleransi, kebanggaan identitas lokal, dan literasi sejarah siswa. Namun, implementasinya masih terkendala oleh minimnya referensi sejarah lokal yang terverifikasi serta instrumen penilaian sikap yang masih bersifat kualitatif dan belum terstandardisasi. Implikasi: pengembangan kurikulum pendidikan agama Islam berbasis moderasi perlu menghadirkan gambaran multi-perspektif yang menghubungkan kebijakan, praktik pedagogis, dan pengalaman siswa. Kebaruan: Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada penempatan kajian integrasi tersebut dalam konteks sosiokultural Pendalungan Lumajang yang khas, konteks yang masih jarang dikaji dalam penelitian sebelumnya tentang kearifan lokal dan moderasi beragama. Penelitian selanjutnya: disarankan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif atau mixed-method untuk mengembangkan dan memvalidasi instrumen terstandardisasi guna mengukur sikap moderasi beragama siswa pada cakupan madrasah yang lebih luas dengan karakteristik sosiokultural majemuk yang serupa.
