Popis: Moderation in Islam means the middle position between two opposite, exaggerated views, with neither view dominating the other. The study questions are: What are the practices of Islamic education teachers in promoting moderation values through their own personal expression of aqeedah?, What are the practices of Islamic education teachers in promoting moderation values at the professional level?, What are the challenges facing Islamic education teachers in promoting moderation values?, and Are there statistically significant differences between average responses about promoting moderation values a) through the teachers’ own personal expression of aqeedah and b) at the professional level, based on the variable of years of educational experience? The study applied SPSS to perform a statistical analysis, 1) Cronbach’s alpha equation, 2) arithmetic averages and standard deviations, and 3) ANOVA analysis and Scheffe test. The results indicate that teachers build learners’ personalities based on moderation, away from extremism. However, the absence of religious scruples and the negative effects of technology create difficulties, and statistically significant differences emerge in promoting moderation values due to the teachers’ years of educational experience. The results can inform the education and security sectors in developing strategies and preventive programs to enhance students’ moderation values.
