Abstrak. Siswa menjadi kelompok yang sangat rawan terseret oleh arus radikalisme keagamaan. Usia yang masih sangat muda dan masih labil dengan semangat yang menyala-nyala, serta kerinduan untuk menjalankan agama secara lebih kāffah (komprehensif) membuat kelompok muda termasuk siswa beragama Islam di Sekolah Lanjutan Tingkat Atas (SLTA) akan menjadi kelompok sosial yang paling rentan disusupi dan menjadi sasaran dari kelompok radikal yang mendakwahkan pemahaman dan sikap keagamaan yang kaku dan cenderung dangkal. Di sisi lain, liberalisme agama pada saat yang sama juga sudah mulai merasuk ke sebagian kalangan muda, tak terkecuali siswa Muslim yang ada di SMA. Maka perlu, strategi untuk menanamkan nilai-nilai moderat Islam ke dalam diri peserta didik dengan memanfaatkan kegiatan belajar mengajar Pendidikan Agama Islam di kelas. Hal ini karena faktor-faktor utama pelaku kekerasan, tindakan anarkistis dalam konflik social berlatarbelakang agama adalah kelompok-kelompok yang berafiliasi pada Islam. Sehingga mau tidak mau, Pendidikan Islam mempunyai tanggungjawab moral dan social untuk turut mencari jalan keluarnya.

Paulo Freire’s concept of liberal education is still not implemented in the world of education in developing countries. Educational actors still adhere to the banking system to oppress students. This study raises a social correlation between educators and students called school family kinship. The education curriculum needs to be used as an indicator of success in terms of the intelligence of the children. The curriculum has continued to transform since 1947 to 2022 but has not found its identity.  Now, the independent learning curriculum is intensively grounded, but there are gaps between regions and between socio-economic groups in terms of learning quality. The implementation of the independent learning curriculum is considered not to have a significant positive effect in the outermost and marginalized areas. Therefore, the old pattern called banking system of education is still used. Students are considered empty piggy banks that must be filled by the teacher. Teachers are still recognized as the all-knowing in knowledge that must be poured into the brains of students. As a result, students can only follow what is transferred by the teacher. This is the basis for the author to try to provide briefings to Catholic teachers and education personnel in Wini and Wekfau parishes regarding the implementation of an independent curriculum in Catholic Schools. This study uses qualitative methods with observation techniques carried out in coastal parishes (Wini) and in the mountains (Wekfau) in terms of geographical location to find out the similarity of perceptions of the independent curriculum. This study applies a qualitative method with observation techniques carried out in the coastal parish (Wini) and in the mountains (Wekfau) in terms of geographical location to find out the similarities in perceptions of the implementation of the independent curriculum in two different areas.
