Meneropong Arus Pendidikan Multikultural di Indonesia

Abstract

Indonesia is a country that has pluralistic diversity. These varieties can be viewed from two perspectives, namely a horizontal perspective and a vertical perspective. The horizontal perspective covers the diversity of religion, ethnicity, regional language, clothing, food, and culture. The vertical perspective includes differences in education level, economy, place of residence, occupation and socio-cultural diversity. The diversity of our nation makes us pay attention to the importance of multicultural education in anticipation of negative social phenomena that may come from diversity, race, ethnicity, religion, and the diversity of values that exist in society. Multicultural education can be implemented through a learning model substantially by acknowledging and respecting cultural diversity.

Student Perceptions of Strengthening and Instilling Character Education Based on the Noble Values of the Indonesian Nation in SB KAMUS Gombok Utara

Although there are many challenges in cultivating character education based on the noble values of the Indonesian nation, consistent and holistic efforts from various parties, including families, schools, and communities, can help overcome these obstacles and strengthen the formation of good character in the younger generation.…”

Humanistic-Based Learning Management: Harmonizing Multiculturalism in Building An Inclusive Learning Environment

“…In the complexity of an increasingly plural global society, the need to create inclusive learning environments that accommodate diverse cultural and individual backgrounds is a significant challenge (Livermore et al, 2022;Diamond & Huda, 2022). Humanistic-based learning management is one approach that has emerged as a relevant solution to achieve harmonization of multiculturalism in building an inclusive learning environment (Purwanti et al, 2022;Munadi & Nurulhaq, 2023).…”
