    Este estudio tiene como objetivo explorar las experiencias minoritarias de los estudiantes mientras participan en educación religiosa. Se utilizó un análisis fenomenológico interpretativo para responder las preguntas objetivas. Los datos fueron recolectados utilizando los diarios de los estudiantes universitarios y entrevistas en profundidad con 9 estudiantes de secundaria seleccionados mediante muestreo intencional. Se utilizó el análisis temático para categorizar la información obtenida. Los resultados mostraron los tres temas principales que surgieron en el análisis de la AP, incluidos la fuerza de la fe, el conocimiento básico y el sentido de la religión. El hallazgo interpreta que los informantes tienen una creencia completa en el Dios que adoran debidoal conocimiento básico de la religión que han obtenido de la familia, la comunidad y las redes sociales, incluso la participación y actividades religiosas de los informantes han alcanzado el nivel de sentido. Este estudio explica cómo los informantes se mantienen firmes en la adoración a su Dios a pesar de recibir RE en diversos colegios.Este estudio concluye que, aunque los informantes se encuentran en un entorno minoritario, aún pueden obtener una educación religiosa adecuada a sus condiciones a través de diversas actividades y defendiendo los valores de las diferencias.

    This study aims to explore students’ minority experiences while participating in religious education (RE). An interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to answer the objective questions. Data were collected using the undergraduates’ diaries and in-depth interviews with 9 senior high school students which were selected by purposive sampling. Thematic analysis was used to categorize the information obtained. The result showed the three major themes that emerge in the IPA analysis, whichinclude the strength of faith, basic knowledge, and a sense of religion. The finding interprets that informants have complete belief in the God they worship because of the basic understandingof religion that has been obtained from the family, community, and social media, even informants’ religious participation and activities have reached the level of sense. This study explains how the informants stand firm in worshipping their God despite receiving RE in various schools.This study concludes that even though informants are in a minority environment, they can still get religious education that is appropriate to their conditions throughdiverse activities and upholding the values of differences
