Abstract

The diverse and multicultural educational dynamics of Indonesian society demand an inclusive model that is responsive to cultural diversity. The national curriculum often fails to accommodate multicultural values. This study explores the development of multicultural learning through a research-based learning cycle method at Sanggar Anak Alam (SALAM), a culture-based non-formal schooling. A qualitative case study design was used, and data were collected through interviews, observation, and document analysis involving 35 participants. Thematic analysis and triangulation with Atlas.ti revealed three main findings: 1) inclusive understanding strengthens student multicultural awareness; 2) the learning cycle method proved effective in instilling multicultural values; and 3) close collaboration between facilitator parents and schools was key to driving innovation in learning practices. The model developed in this study contributes significantly as a prototype for enriching culturally responsive curriculum that can be adapted into formal education systems to build students' multicultural competence, critical thinking, and empathy.

Abstract

The complex dynamics of Indonesia's pluralistic society necessitate innovative approaches to reconstruct Civic Education paradigms, specifically through the integration of multicultural values. This study investigates the implementation of Research-Based Learning (RBL)—operationalised through a systematic cycle of observation, data collection, analysis, conclusion, and application—as an innovative pedagogical model at Sanggar Anak Alam (SALAM). Employing a qualitative case study design, the research engaged 35 participants, comprising facilitators, students, and parents. Data were systematically gathered via in-depth interviews, participant observations, and document analysis, followed by thematic analysis and triangulation facilitated by ATLAS.ti software. The analysis yielded two primary findings: firstly, the embedding of multicultural values significantly enhances appreciation for diversity and cultivates an inclusive character amongst students; secondly, RBL effectively fosters civic competencies by actively engaging students in resolving contextualised social issues. These findings demonstrate that this model not only fortifies the internalisation of multicultural values but concurrently refines students' critical cognitive abilities, empathy, and collaborative skills. Ultimately, this framework exhibits substantial potential for adaptation within formal educational settings, thereby enriching the Civic Education curriculum to become more culturally responsive. This innovation posits a novel paradigm wherein inclusive pedagogy ensures equitable educational access, the RBL cycle refines instructional methodologies, and insights derived from non-formal education serve as a viable catalyst for fortifying institutional Civic Education.
