Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (IRE) at the elementary school level plays a strategic role in shaping students’ moderate character and tolerance toward diversity. This study aims to describe the efforts of IRE teachers in fostering religious moderation and tolerance among students at SDN Cluring, Kalitengah Subdistrict, Lamongan Regency. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that IRE teachers implemented various strategies such as exemplary behavior, integration of tolerance values into lesson content, open class discussions, and habituation through routine school activities. These strategies proved effective in cultivating mutual respect and acceptance of differences among students. The results highlight the importance of strengthening the role of IRE teachers in building character education based on moderate Islamic values from an early age.
