Changing Students' Mindset about Multicultural Education in the Era of Globalisation in Schools

This study aims to analyse changes in students' mindsets regarding multicultural education in the era of globalisation, as well as the factors that affect the development of this mindset. The design of this study uses a qualitative approach with unit analysis in high school students. Data sources were obtained through in-depth interviews with students, teachers, and principals, as well as observations in classrooms and school activities related to multicultural education. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and analysis of multicultural education policy documents implemented in schools. Data were analysed with a thematic analysis approach to identify changes in students' mindsets about diversity and the impact of globalisation. The research findings show that students are increasingly open to cultural differences and understand the importance of tolerance, despite the challenges in implementing a consistent multicultural education. The contribution of this research is to provide insights into how multicultural education can influence the mindset of students in the era of globalisation, as well as to suggest the importance of a more inclusive approach in the educational curriculum.
