Abstract

This study examines how multicultural education is implemented in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in South Kalimantan to strengthen students’ character. While existing studies often conceptualize multicultural education as a formal curriculum, limited attention has been given to its experiential and embedded practices within pesantren settings. This research adopts a qualitative case study approach, with data collected through semi-structured interviews involving five teachers and santri actively engaged in daily activities. The findings indicate that multicultural education is not delivered as a formal subject but is internalized through daily interactions, collaborative learning, and communal living practices. Continuous exposure to cultural diversity fosters tolerance, empathy, and cooperation among santri. Despite its positive contributions, challenges such as cultural adaptation and communication differences persist. This study highlights that the strength of multicultural education in pesantren lies in its habituation process and social interaction patterns, offering an alternative model of character education rooted in lived experience rather than formal instruction.
