<strong>Bahasa Indonesia:</strong><br />Multikulturalisme, sebagai sebuah diskursus, memang merupakan produk kajian ilmuan Barat akan realitas-eksistensial kebudayaan mereka yang heterogen. Namun, ke-khas-an kajian mereka tidak menyentuh aspek-aspek teologis, jika tidak mau disebut Agama. Multikulturalisme hadir ke Indonesia dengan wajah yang berbeda. Ada banyak perspektif, yang kemudian, meng-amalgamasikan kepentingan faham keagamaan, dengan sumber kebudayaan yang dikaji di Barat melalui cultural studies-nya. Kendati demikian, masyarakat Indonesia tidak bisa dilepaskan dari homogenitas, pluralitas, dan multi-kebudayaan. Oleh sebab itulah, para pendiri bangsa memiliki slogan Bhinneka Tuggal Ika, dari hal yang berbeda-beda, namun memiliki satu tujuan yang sama. Slogan ini, terkadang, tidak disadari oleh seluruh masyarakat Indonesia. Untuk itulah, HAR Tilaar menawarkan sebuah konsep pendidikan yang dibasiskan kepada pengenalan dan pemahaman akan perbedaan kebudayaan yang dimiliki Indonesia. Tulisan ini berusaha mengkaitkan gagasan Tilaar ini dengan fenomena konflik yang ada di Indonesia, khususnya, berbasis agama. Melalui pendidikan multikultural, diharapkan, seluruh pemeluk agama menyadari akan tantangan perbedaan yang diciptakan oleh Tuhan.<br /><br /><strong>English:</strong><br />Multiculturalism as an academic discourse comes from western scholarly tradition regarding their heterogeneus cultural existential-reality. However, the distinguish discourse does not deal with theological aspects, if it is to hesitate to call religion. Multiculturalism comes to Indonesia in a different face. There are so many perspectives to amalgamate religious interest and western culture within cultural studies framework. However, Indonesian cannot be separated from homogeneity, plurality, as well as multi-culturalism. For that reason, the nation’s founding father promoted the slogan “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika”, unity in diversity. The slogan is sometimes less understood by citizens. This made H.A.R. Tilaar to offer an educational concept based upon introducation and comprehension towards Indonesian cultural diversity. This paper examines the Tilaar’s thoughts and religion-based conflict in Indonesia. Multicultural education itself is proposed to shade light for religions’s follower regarding the challenge of diversity created by God.<br /><br />

Indonesian nation consist of many kind of culture, ethnic, race, religion, etc. At one side that diversity is a treasure of Indonesian, but at other side it triggers social conflict. Conflict that happens about three decade of New Order power is because our education always teaching similarity (uniformity) and averse plurality. Therefore, this paper suggested multicultural education as solution to this problem. Multicultural education has to be implemented on learning process at school. It not necessarily became separated lesson, but can integrated to every lesson . Multicultural education is a process to cultivating attitude to respect each other, honest, and tolerant to cultural diversity that exit on the plural society.

Problem This research investigated the understanding and perceptions of Saudi educators toward multiculturalism and multicultural education in Saudi Arabia. The research had three broad questions. The first question was, "What are Saudi educators’ conceptions of culture and multicultural education?" The second research question was, "What practices do educators employ concerning multicultural education?” The third research question was, "How do educators implement multicultural education for their students at schools with different levels of cultural diversity?" Method In this study, I used the qualitative multiple case study research design to explore the understanding and the attitudes of Saudi educators regarding multiculturalism and multicultural education. The study was applied in the Holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, which is one of the most highly diverse cities in the whole country. The participants of this study were selected from two elementary schools with different levels of cultural diversity. The participants were varied in their school positions, teaching subjects, and levels of education. To collect the data of the study, I developed the interview protocol and conducted semi-structured interviews for teachers and administrators to understand Saudi educators' attitudes and perceptions regarding multicultural education. Interpretations The findings of the study were categorized into four themes. First, culture was defended into three different ways: a gained knowledge, customs and traditions, and an integrated life system. Second, the relationship between culture and education was seen from three different perspectives: the cultural background influences students' learning, the family's background influences students’ learning, and the school’s culture influences students’ learning. Third, participants' perspectives regarding multiculturalism and multicultural education were divided into three viewpoints: multiculturalism empowers the community and it improves students’ achievements at schools, multiculturalism empowers the teacher's performance in the classroom, and multiculturalism and multicultural education participate in losing the Islamic and Arabic identities for Saudi students. The fourth theme was related to teachers’ professional development. All participants agreed that training programs provided form the Educational Training Department did not reach their desired needs. Implications of the Study The findings of this research have implications regarding multiculturalism and multicultural education in Saudi Arabia. First, the meaning of multicultural education used in the western world was not compatible with the culture of Islamic societies, including Saudi people. Therefore, there is a need for developing a multicultural education philosophy for Arab and Muslim societies that take into account the Arabic and Islamic identities. Second, equity in education is the backbone of the education system in Saudi Arabia. However, Saudi teachers need to be informed about equity in education and students' rights to empower all students to succeed. Third, there is a need for developing an Arabic language learning program for non-Arabic speakers. The fourth implication is that teacher professional development programs need to be developed to prepare teachers to participate in building the future of the country.

This chapter begins with a critique of traditional models of curriculum development as overly rigid, fragmented, and disconnected from the true nature of the learner. Holistic learning is described as engaging the mind, body, heart, and spirit of the learner in relationship to the learning environment. Holistic learning is earth-centered, participatory, and inclusive of the cultural context of the learners. These various learning domains and their relationship to curriculum are discussed, including the application of learning from indigenous communities. Several examples of arts-based and creative learning activities are offered along with holistic ways of developing learning objectives and assessing learning.

New Zealand has become an increasingly multicultural society since the 1990s. But multicultural education is complicated in this nation by its position on biculturalism, a commitment founded in its postcolonial history. The finding of an investigation in secondary schools, which showed that national and visual arts curricula emphasize biculturalism over multiculturalism, was reflected in art teachers’ pedagogies. In this paper I discuss how multicultural art education could be strengthened within the existing bicultural framework. Bridging the gap between policies and practices would require art teachers to review their practices and implement strategies which take into account the cultural diversity of students to enhance understandings of their own and other multicultural societies.
