Moderate Islamic Value as a Source of Students’ National Identity to Support Students’ Sociocultural Literacy

Abstract

This research focuses on implementing moderate Islamic values in school programs related to national identity. This research is beneficial for strengthening students' character in accepting diversity in Indonesia, maintaining national unity, preserving Indonesian culture, and strengthening religious moderation and inter-religious harmony. This survey study is based on the three-stage probability proportion of 50 students as subjects from nine cities in East Java. Our findings show that moderate Islamic values have been integrated into several school programs such as intra-curricular, extracurricular, school culture, and community participation to strengthen national identity. Then, it is essential to design a program for strengthening student identity as a reference for public schools to facilitate the improvement of sociocultural literacy for students.
