Informal Learning through Religious Social Activities in the Community as the Internalization of Religious Values in Adolescents

Abstract

Religious social activities are forms of activities related to religion. These activities balance scientific
knowledge with religious knowledge. The purpose of this research is to understand informal
learning through religious social activities as a means of internalizing religious values in adolescents,
as well as to assess the support from families. This research employs qualitative methods with a case
study approach. The findings indicate that the religious social activities participated in by
adolescents are organized by the community and mosque youth organizations. The internalization
of religious values in adolescents through informal learning is incorporated into various activities
such as habituation, advice-giving, and sermons. In this internalization process, several small
changes have begun to be implemented by adolescents in their daily lives. Additionally, adolescents
receive full support from their families in these religious social activities, which further motivates
them to deepen their religious knowledge.
