Ainus Sicha — 2026-01-31

This research examines how the philosophical foundations of Islamic Religious Education shape students’ religiosity in higher education. A qualitative field design was applied through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature review, with data analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Johnny Saldana model. Findings show that Islamic Religious Education is carried out transformatively by engaging students in research-based learning projects grounded in Islamic education theories. This process encourages conscious, deep, and continuous internalization of religious values, enabling the integration of theory with daily life and producing contextual, reflective, and applicable religiosity. The study contributes to strengthening Islamic education practices in universities, especially in Kediri and comparable settings. Its novelty lies in highlighting the constructive impact of philosophical perspectives on students’ religious character amid contemporary moral and spiritual challenges.
