Abstract


This article used a systematic literature review and bibliometric methods to examine the strategy and role of religious value-based teaching materials in religious education learning. This method was carried out by collecting and analyzing various reference sources, such as scientific journals, books, and articles, over the past four years (2021-2024). The findings showed a consistent increase in the application of religious value-based teaching materials, both in students' understanding of religion and in their character formation. This article also discussed the challenges faced in implementing religious value-based teaching materials, such as the diversity of students' religious backgrounds and the potential for controversy in the interpretation of religious teachings. Through a literature review, this article provided insight into how religious value-based teaching materials can enrich learning, improve understanding of moral values, and support the creation of a more tolerant and harmonious society.
