Abstract

This paper offers the concept of inclusive-dialogic religious education model that can be used as an alternative to contrive mutual understanding and respect among pupils in early childhood education. This model is developed on the basis of experience-based learning which puts emphasis on the reflection and internalization of righteous virtues of religious traditions. Conceptually, it can be incorporated through learning activities by elaborating learning materials and contextualizing them through observations and visitations. To endorse its implementation, this model requires some pre-conditions, such as teacher creativity, appropriate method, and stakeholder support. Methodologically, this paper employs library research or content discourse analysis. This paper argues that amid the increasing practice of religious education that exclusively focuses on mono-religious model, inclusive-dialogic model can be an alternative to cultivate multi-religious character that values diversity.
