Abstract

This study aims to describe efforts to foster students’ tolerance character through structured intercultural dialogue at SMAN 9 Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara. The research background is based on the diverse religious, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds of students, which necessitates mutual respect and appreciation among peers. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study involved teachers and students directly engaged in intercultural dialogue activities. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed via data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Findings indicate that structured intercultural dialogue plays a significant role in nurturing students’ tolerance. Students are trained to respect differences, avoid discriminatory behavior, and develop understanding of diverse cultural and religious perspectives. Key supporting factors include a conducive school environment, active teacher involvement, and student and peer participation. Nonetheless, challenges remain, such as existing stereotypes, teasing, and exclusive behaviors among some students. Overall, this study confirms that structured intercultural dialogue can serve as an effective strategy to cultivate students’ tolerance character in multicultural school settings.

Abstract

The phenomenon of imbalance in the selection of Science (IPA) and Social Science (IPS) streams at the senior high school level remains a relevant issue in the context of Indonesian education. This study aims to explore teachers’ perspectives on the predominant tendency of students to choose the IPA stream at SMAN 1 Mataram, as well as the impacts of this imbalance on both teachers and the social dynamics among students. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with several teachers from diverse subject backgrounds. The findings indicate that the stream selection process is conducted objectively by considering academic achievement, psychological test results, as well as students’ interests and talents. However, student choices remain dominated by the IPA stream due to rational considerations related to future prospects. This imbalance affects the distribution of teachers’ workload and creates distinct social characteristics between the streams, although it does not cause overt conflicts. These results highlight the importance of fairer stream socialization and the critical role of teachers in providing personalized guidance to students. This study recommends strengthening internal school policies to manage the imbalance and encourages further research exploring students’ perspectives and other socio-cultural variables influencing stream selection.
