“…Unlike the study in the United States about the relationship of religious affiliation with work performance. They found a positive interaction effect on performance for Christianity and religiosity, no interaction effect on performance for Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism, and a negative interaction effect on performance for Islam and religiosity [12]. The findings in Yogyakarta have no religious influence on anxiety [13].…”

West Java is the province with the most followers of Islam. Of the total population of 43 million, almost 42 million are Muslims. However, according to BMPT the most radical act of Islamic radicalism occurred in West Java. It is as if there is a relationship between Islam and radicalism. Tasikmalaya is known as the most populous Muslims in West Java, reaching 98.73%. The study aims to find the relationship between religiosity and religious tolerance in junior high-school students in the city of Tasikmalaya. The research method used is descriptive quantitative. The instrument used was a questionnaire on religiosity and religious tolerance. The sample is 90 students of junior high-school5 Kota Tasikmalaya. The results of the study, first, 68.9% of students had high religiosity, 26.7% moderate, and 4.4% low. Second, student religious tolerance is 63.3% high, 25.6% moderate, and 11.1% low. Third, based on the results of the Pearson Correlation test, obtained r = 0, 287 (significant 0.01). That is, there is a significant correlation between religiosity and religious tolerance. Thus, the religiosity fostered by Islamic Religious Education teachers of junior highschool at Tasikmalaya increases students' religious tolerance. By looking at the results of a low correlation test, there are indeed some students who have high religiosity but have low religious tolerance. In its pedagogical implications, fostering religious tolerance needs to be carried out in conjunction with fostering religiosity.

“…Evidências apontam que a crença religiosa afeta uma ampla gama de resultados comportamentais e tem resultados benéficos para a saúde física e mental, tornando plausível que as crenças possam afetar o desempenho acadêmico 8,9 . Estar ligado a uma religião tende a dar à pessoa uma maior sensação de bem-estar, que por sua vez está associado ao desempenho acadêmico 10,11 .…”

“…Religion shows that Muslims pertain to high academic performance than non-Muslims in five universities of Pakistan. The plausible reason could be that Muslims (religiosity) can handle their stress level and get self-motivation to achieve high results in academics (Jeynes, 2003;Li & Murphy, 2018). However, birth order differences have shown an insignificant relationship with academic performance.…”

“…Furthermore, researchers have also shown that not only cultural settings affect learning engagements, but religious belief systems also interact with academic learning, motivation, and performance mechanisms (Li & Murphy, 2018;Trockel et al, 2000). Recently, researchers have shown much interest in exploring the association of belief system or religious identity with academic performance in higher education.…”

The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between learning engagement, academic motivation, and academic performance in undergraduate students and the importance of religion in determining the academic motivation and academic performance. A sample of 840 university students from different regions (provinces) of Pakistan is pooled through a convenient sampling technique. Engagement Versus Disaffection (EVD) and the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) are administered for learning engagement and academic motivation, respectively. After applying analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson product-moment correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression, the findings of this research reveal that learning engagement and academic motivation have significant relationships with academic performance. Furthermore, it is also found that, in religiosity, academic motivation for both Muslims and non-Muslims do not induce learning engagement, but Muslim students have shown better academic performance than non-Muslims. This study can be beneficial for policymakers and practitioners to analyze the determinants of learning engagements and improve the academic performance of university students.
