Abstract. This study looks at how teachers use the social studies method in Class VII of SMP Negeri 3 Balung Jember. The results show that this method is very effective in creating an interactive and supportive learning environment. The constructivism approach, used by teachers, encourages students to build knowledge through active interaction with material and fellow students. Clear instructions and reflection on previous lessons are used to begin the lesson. Then, the use of analogies and interesting learning tools such as videos and educational games are used. Teachers encourage students to actively participate in learning by helping them overcome problems without providing immediate solutions. In-depth questions and timely feedback improve teacher-student communication, creating a dynamic learning environment. This method was successful in increasing students' understanding, technology skills, and their participation. In addition, teachers use preventive and responsive approaches in classroom management to overcome disruptions and create a disciplined and conducive learning environment. Student response to this teaching method was very positive; they are very enthusiastic and very involved.

This study aims to develop an Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum that incorporates multicultural values to foster religious moderation among students. The proposed curriculum integrates principles of cultural diversity and tolerance into PAI learning materials, allowing students to comprehend Islamic teachings while also appreciating and interacting harmoniously with adherents of other religions. Utilizing a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach, this study addresses multicultural education as a relatively new phenomenon in PAI courses, emphasized as an essential competency for both lecturers and students. The phenomenological approach seeks to understand the daily lives and intersubjective experiences of the participants, aiming to reveal the meaning of concepts and phenomena as perceived by individuals. Conducted in a natural setting, this approach permits unrestricted interpretation of the phenomenon, granting researchers the freedom to analyze the data comprehensively. The findings indicate that a multicultural PAI curriculum effectively promotes an understanding of religious moderation among students and heightens awareness of the importance of multicultural perspectives in religion. These results are intended to guide educators and policymakers in creating a more inclusive PAI curriculum, thereby supporting the development of a peaceful and harmonious society.
