This article is the author's idea regarding the application of contextual approaches in islamic education course at University. The purpose of writing this article is to find out how the strategy of developing students' tolerant characters through islamic education learning, as well as learning assesment methods can be used. The contextual approach encourages students to explore and elaborate every concept learned. In this approach, learning strategies take precedence and take precedence over results. Learners are directed to learn everything that is meaningful in their lives. Islamic education course with a contextual approach is carried out through assignments to students to plan, observe, and carry out the actualization of religious teachings in various social institutions that are in accordance with the themes set out earlier in the syllabus, and the RPS. Learning assesment can be carried out through assessment of understanding, sociometry, pretest and posttest, and responsiveness.
