Analisis Kesiapan Guru PAI Dalam Menghadapi Tantangan Multikultural di SMK Negeri 1 Tanjung Pura

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the readiness of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers in facing multicultural challenges at SMK Negeri 1 Tanjung Pura. Using a qualitative approach, this study collected data through observation, interviews, and documentation to gain an in-depth understanding of the conditions of diversity in schools and the role of PAI teachers. The results showed that 1) SMK Negeri 1 Tanjung Pura has significant religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity, but this diversity can be a source of learning and not conflict. 2) The readiness of PAI teachers in managing multicultural challenges is seen through continuous learning, the creation of an inclusive environment, and active involvement in diversity promotion activities. 3) However, there are barriers such as lack of specialized training and limited resources, while supports such as collaboration among teachers and effective communication are supporting factors. This study recommends continuous training and increased resources to optimize PAI teachers' readiness.
