Abstract

This study aims to identify the developing competencies from multicultural values and local wisdom existing in Indonesian society in Islamic Religion Education (Pendidikan Agama Islam - PAI). Based on previous research in two state universities, there are guidance and empowerment for an inclusive attitude towards various cultural, religious, ethnic, and linguistic diversity and political organizations. During this time, the source of Islamic Religious Education learning tends to be conceptualist, so that it requires contextual teaching material and takes place in people^s lives, such as local culture. Besides, the realm of assessment of learning outcomes is only in the cognitive domain, whereas learning neglects the affective domain. This study is qualitative research and development (Research and Development), by collecting data through interviews, questionnaires, observation sheets, study documentation, and focus group discussions. The research subjects were lecturers, and students participating in Islamic Religious Education learning. The study results found two main components, the competence of Islamic Religious Education learning based on multicultural values and local wisdom and the development of indicators and instruments for evaluating scientific and character attitudes that support the evaluation of the development of these competencies.
And the study indicates the need to develop Islamic learning competencies in tertiary institutions by incorporating multicultural values and using the wealth of traditions and local cultures that live and align with Islamic values and teachings. This study is also useful for the preservation of the archipelago culture.
