Revitalisasi Pendidikan Agama sebagai Pilar Moralitas di Era Pendidikan Modern

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the role of religious education in shaping students' morality in the era of modern education. Advances in technology and globalization have brought new challenges to the world of education, especially in maintaining moral values amidst rapid social change. Therefore, revitalization of religious education is needed so that it remains relevant in shaping students' character based on ethical and spiritual values. The research method used in this study is library research with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through analysis of various literature sources, including books, academic journals, national education policies, and previous research results related to religious education and morality. Data analysis was carried out using content analysis techniques, namely examining the contents of various relevant references to find patterns, relationships, and strategies that can be used in revitalizing religious education. The results of the study show that religious education still has a crucial role in building students' morality. However, the main challenges faced include the lack of innovation in teaching methods, limited use of technology in learning, and the gap between religious education theory and practice in everyday life. Therefore, religious education needs to be revitalized through a technology-based learning approach, integration of religious values with science, and strengthening the role of teachers as moral figures for students. Revitalization of religious education can be done by developing a more contextual curriculum, implementing technology-based learning methods, and increasing cooperation between educational institutions and religious communities in strengthening character education. With these steps, religious education can continue to play a role as a main pillar in building strong morality that is relevant to the challenges of the times.
