Multicultural Education: Ukrainian Challenges

Ukraine is a multinational and multicultural country. Though Ukrainian scientists have studied the issue of multicultural education from different aspects, nevertheless, there is no special or ideal model of multicultural education. That is why we decided to monitor the students’ multicultural education state at secondary schools of Ukraine. In order to identify the state of multicultural education in Ukrainian schools we conducted an empirical study in schools of Cherkasy region among primary, secondary and senior level students. The main method was determined as questionnaire, which is provided for clarification of issues of national-patriotic and multicultural orientation. Accordingly, questionnaires that combined quantitative and qualitative data collection were offered to the 4th, 6th and 11th grade students in some schools in Uman and Uman district, covering 296 respondents. Thus, the monitoring of the state of multicultural education in Ukrainian school education has shown that the problem of multicultural upbringing of children and young people is addressed at the government level, relevant research is conducted, some aspects of multiculturalism are observed in educational programs of some subjects, but the level of multicultural education of students should be higher.

Distance Learning during the current Covid-19 pandemic causes various problems, one of which is the lack of understanding of students towards learning materials. Due to the limited access to face-to-face with educators in Indonesian language lessons, the level of understanding of 11th grade students of SMKN 2 Wonogiri in the 2020-2021 school year class in the proposal material is still lacking. Learning Indonesian in the proposal chapter is a fairly difficult chapter so it requires sufficient explanation so that students better understand the details of learning. Students' understanding of the proposal is minimal, making it difficult for students to understand and study the proposal. One of the focus problems behind this is the lack of variety of Indonesian language learning media in the implementation of Distance Learning during the pandemic.
