Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of multicultural education through experiential learning, specifically in the context of the Nusantara Mini Expo held at elementary schools. The research focuses on how direct cultural engagement fosters students’ understanding of Indonesia’s cultural diversity. A qualitative case study approach was employed, using data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model to ensure validity and reliability. Findings reveal that the Nusantara Mini Expo serves as an effective platform for multicultural education. Through direct interaction with various cultural elements—such as traditional clothing, art, music, and cuisine—students gain a deeper, more personal understanding of Indonesia’s diverse heritage. The experience-based model fosters sensory and emotional engagement, which enhances cultural appreciation and awareness. This participatory approach transforms multicultural education from a theoretical concept into a lived experience. By integrating cultural elements into interactive learning activities, the expo encourages empathy, respect, and inclusivity among students. The study underscores the educational value of connecting learners with culture in meaningful and memorable ways. The research highlights the importance of incorporating experience-based multicultural education into the elementary curriculum. Such integration promotes cultural identity, tolerance, and mutual respect—crucial competencies in an increasingly globalized world.

Abstract

This study investigates the indicators of social literacy embedded in the social and cultural diversity material within the Pancasila and Citizenship Education textbook for Grade IV of elementary schools (SD/MI), published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. Social literacy is essential for fostering students’ awareness and appreciation of Indonesia’s diverse society. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study employed content analysis to examine the textbook. Data were collected through systematic reading and note-taking. The analysis followed six stages: data collection, sampling, recording, data reduction, conclusion drawing, and narrative construction. The findings reveal that the textbook integrates social literacy through its presentation of social and cultural diversity. The content not only introduces key social and cultural concepts but also encourages the development of interpersonal skills, such as communication, empathy, and openness to difference. These elements promote active engagement with diversity in everyday social contexts. The integration of social literacy within the textbook fosters a deeper student understanding of ethnic, religious, cultural, and linguistic diversity in Indonesia. This approach supports the formation of student character grounded in the values of tolerance, inclusivity, and national identity. By embedding these principles in Pancasila and Citizenship Education, the curriculum contributes to shaping responsible citizens who value plurality as a foundational aspect of Indonesian society.
