PENDALAMAN PENDIDIKAN AGAMA HINDU MELALUI JALUR NONFORMAL DI PIMPINAN CABANG KESATUAN MAHASISWA HINDU DHARMA INDONESIA DENPASAR

Abstract The challenge of moral degradation among students raises a significant question about the role of spirituality in Religious Education. Moreover, Hindu Religious Education is a compulsory course that is offered for only one semester through formal channels. Based on these problems, the Branch Leadership of the Indonesian Hindu Dharma Student Union Denpasar (PC KMHDI Denpasar) aims to initiate a regeneration process that provides a deeper understanding of religious teachings through non-formal channels. Although it has been implemented, there has never been concrete research on the success of the deepening effort. Therefore, this research is presented with the primary purpose of addressing three problem formulations related to the urgency, essence, and form of implementing deepening Hindu Religious Education through non-formal channels in PC KMHDI Denpasar. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive naturalistic approach. Primary data sources were obtained through observation and interview processes, as well as secondary data through literature and documentation studies, which were then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman basis. The results of this study found that the deepening of Hindu Religious Education through non-formal channels in PC KMHDI Denpasar is carried out with a tiered and structured regeneration system. In conclusion, this program can provide an understanding of the essence and implications of deepening Hindu Education through non-formal channels, which can foster a sense of religion, humanism, and solidarity, among others. These results and discussions serve as a role model for an inclusive, non-formal education forum enabling a moderate young generation to fulfill their obligations to the state (Dharma Negara) and religion (Dharma Agama). Abstrak Tantangan degradasi moral di kalangan mahasiswa menghadirkan pertanyaan besar bagi eksistensi spiritualitas yang dihadirkan oleh Pendidikan Agama. Terlebih lagi, Pendidikan Agama Hindu selama ini menjadi mata kuliah wajib yang hanya diberikan selama satu semester lewat jalur formal. Berdasar atas problematika tersebut, Pimpinan Cabang Kesatuan Mahasiswa Hindu Dharma Indonesia (PC KMHDI) Denpasar berusaha menghadirkan proses kaderisasi untuk memberikan pendalaman ajaran agama melalui jalur nonformal. Meskipun sudah terlaksana, belum pernah ada meneliti secara konkret tentang keberhasilan usaha pendalaman tersebut. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini dihadirkan dengan tujuan utama menjawab tiga buah rumusan masalah yang berkaitan dengan urgensi, esensi, dan wujud implementasi pendalaman Pendidikan Agama Hindu lewat jalur nonformal di PC KMHDI Denpasar. Penelitian ini memakai metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan naturalistik deskriptif. Sumber data primer diperoleh melalui proses observasi dan wawancara, serta data sekunder melalui studi kepustakaan dan dokumentasi, yang kemudian dianalisis memakai basis Miles dan Huberman. Hasil penelitian ini memperoleh temuan bahwa, pendalaman Pendidikan Agama Hindu lewat jalur nonformal di PC KMHDI Denpasar dilaksanakan dengan sistem kaderisasi berjenjang dan terstruktur. Sebagai konklusi, program ini mampu memberikan esensi dan implikasi wujud pendalaman Pendidikan Agama Hindu lewat jalur nonformal yang mampu mengembangkan rasa religius, humanis, dan solidaritas antar sesama. Hasil dan pembahasan ini turut berkontribusi sebagai role model wadah pendidikan nonformal yang inklusif, serta mampu membentuk generasi muda moderat dalam menjalankan kewajiban terhadap negara (Dharma Negara) dan kewajiban terhadap agama (Dharma Agama).
