Abstract

The multicultural approach plays a vital role in learning religious education in order to recognize the diversity that exists, especially in conflict-prone zone schools. This study aims to describe a multicultural approach in learning religious education in conflict-prone zones. Through exercising Garfinkel’s ethnomethodology analysis, this qualitative research was conducted at SMAN 2 Pasaman and SMAN 1 Luhak Nan Duo senior high schools within conflict-prone zones of West Pasaman, West Sumatra. The dynamics of school philosophy towards inclusive multicultural approaches in religious education for schools in conflict-prone zones indicated that academic culture within said schools must be capable of creating a more harmonious atmosphere among ethnic diversities, mainly that of Javanese, Minangkabaunese, and Bataknese. The application of multicultural approaches in religious education for such schools in conflict-prone zones showed that the planning, implementation, and evaluation of religious education must be carried out while simultaneously considering the diversity of these ethnicities. The employment of an inclusive multicultural approach in association with schools in conflict-prone zones showed that the school’s physical environment is strategic for the interaction of various ethnicities, such as with Javanese, Minang, and Batak ethnicities at SMAN 2 Pasaman and SMAN 1 Luhak Nan Duo. This research is useful as input in making and improving policies by schools and the government regarding the implementation of religious education with a multicultural approach in conflict-prone zone schools.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate students’ perceptions of Computer-Based National Assessment (ANBK) and how it impacts students’ literacy and numeracy skills. ANBK is one of the government’s efforts to evaluate students’ competencies using information technology. This study was conducted through direct observation and interviews with 30 students in grade V of elementary school. The results showed that the majority of students saw ANBK as an interesting tool and helped them learn. This study concluded that ANBK can help improve students’ basic skills in addition to improving their literacy and numeracy skills, although there were some problems with technology accessibility and students’ mental readiness. In the future, it is recommended to develop training programs and provide better technology facilities in schools to support better implementation of ANBK. Through this study, based on students’ perceptions of ANBK activities, it can be categorized as good or positive where students are able to find information, understand information, and evaluate and reflect in literacy activities, while in numeracy activities students can reason critically by using logic in solving problems in everyday life.
