The Relevance of Multicultural Education to Deradicalization in the Perspective of Islamic Education

Abstract

Multicultural education has become a driving force in upholding democratization, humanism, and pluralism, carried out through schools, campuses, and other educational institutions. By instilling a multicultural spirit in schools at various levels of education, this is nothing more than an awareness movement for the younger generation to understand and accept the diversity of their society. Based on data analysis, it was found that: 1) Multicultural education cannot be separated from part of the curriculum itself. The internalization of multicultural values itself will be successful if the concept of multicultural education is realized in accordance with multicultural principles. This means that the programs created must reflect the objectives of multicultural education, the material contained in them must be integrated with the concept of multicultural education, the methods must be in accordance with approaches in multicultural education, an educator must have a strong multicultural character, and the evaluation design must be directed towards creating a school environment. multicultural. (2) Multicultural education, as the spearhead of deradicalization, is expected to display attitudes of pluralism, tolerance, and harmonization, as well as religious inclusivity. At this point, multicultural education as a driving force is very relevant if it has to be implemented and developed in the implementation of learning in schools.
