MENGGAGAS PENDIDIKAN MULTIKULTUR DI INDONESIA
ABSTRACT: Indonesia with
diversity of ethnic, culture, tradition, social group, religion, and so on, on
the one hand, has aroused the dynamics of cultural diversity and positive
civilization; on the other hand, it will even become the cause of conflict and
disintegration, if it is not managed wisely and comprehensively. Multicultural
education in Indonesia, however, should not only become an academic discourse,
but it needs to be implemented in the concrete sphere, among them is in the education
realm. Here, we need a conceptual frame in its implementation, so that the
problem that emerges as the effect of the diversity and religiousness bias does
not become a heavy burden of this nation. Multicultural education is a reform
as well as the process of education which inculcate to the students the values
and beliefs the importance of uniqueness recognition at every ethnic, culture,
and other social groups. There are at least five scopes in multicultural
education, they are (1) promotion to strengthen cultural diversity; (2)
promotion to respect human right and other different people; (3) promotion to
act based on his own way of life for every human being; and (5) promotion to
the importance of equality and distribution of authority among different social
groups.
