Religious Moderation, Spiritual Quotient (SQ), Local Cultural Accommodation, Character EducationAbstract
This study aims to analyze the relationship between the internalization of religious moderation values and the spiritual quotient (SQ) of students, with a particular emphasis on the role of local cultural accommodation as a key element. Religious moderation values such as tawasuth, tasamuh, tawazun, and i'tidal are internalized through educational practices and school culture, and are assumed to play a role in shaping the spiritual dimensions of students, including the meaning of life, self-awareness, and transcendental relationships. The study employs a correlational quantitative approach with parametric testing to ensure the validity and significance of the relationship. The results indicate a significant and linear relationship between the internalization of religious moderation values and the students' spiritual quotient. Local cultural accommodation emerges as a strong indicator in bridging religious values with contextual spiritual experiences. The internalization of values through local religious cultural experiences helps students develop a spirituality that is non-dogmatic, yet reflective, inclusive, and transformative. The study recommends the integration of religious moderation values with local culture-based education in the development of religious and character education curricula.
