Abstract

Indonesia is a country consisting of approximately 17 thousand islands, of which there are about 714 tribes. Thus, the conflict between tribes and religions becomes very vulnerable. Therefore, multicultural education is needed as an education that addresses cultural diversity. Civic education's mission is to improve the quality of students as good citizens and have civic skills. Therefore, the subjects of civic education emphasize the importance of respecting multiculturalism and actualizing local wisdom values in the environment around students. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of multiculturalism learning models applied by civic education teachers to high school students in Indonesia. Qualitative methods use the case study approach to obtain empirical data on the values of multiculturalism applied by civic education teachers in the learning process. The data was collected through interviews with six civic education teachers and fifteen tenth graders in senior high school. This study shows that multicultural in civic education plays a vital role in improving students' quality as citizens with civic skills. The study's implication is to minimize violent behavior and prevent high school students' racial, tribal, and religious discrimination.
