Integrating Religious Moderation Value through Learning Process in Islamic Higher Education (An Analysis to the Lecturer’s Perspective)

Islamic Higher Education are required to develop religious moderation throughout all campus components, especially for the students by integrating the values of religious moderation in the learning process. therefore, it is important to see how the lecturer’s perceptions are and how the strategies they use to integrate religious moderation in the learning process. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach through observation and interviews to the lecturers at Islamic institute of Muhammadiyah Sinjai. The researcher found the fact that most of the lecturers had read the literature about religious moderation, only a small part who had never read it, most had not applied it to the learning process and a small proportion had begun to integrate it into the learning syllabus and integrated it into the courses that they taught. For the institution it can be a reference to provide a wider understanding of religious moderation in Islamic higher education, and for lecturers it become a motivation to always study and understand religious moderation and to try to make innovation and integrate certain values in the learning process.
