Abstract
This study aims to identify the role of multicultural education in shaping the character of tolerance in students in elementary schools. The study was conducted using a descriptive quantitative approach through questionnaires given to 121 students. The results showed that multicultural education plays an important role in shaping the character of tolerance in students. Multicultural learning helps students understand and appreciate the differences between individuals, groups, and cultures. In addition, multicultural education can also help students gain an understanding of the importance of diversity in society. The emphasis on multicultural education should start from an early age, because the character and social attitudes of students begin to form at that age. Therefore, teachers and educational institutions should incorporate multicultural materials into the early childhood education curriculum. In addition, an inclusive and supportive classroom environment also needs to be created by teachers to support students from different backgrounds. The conclusion of this study is that multicultural education can help shape the character of tolerance in students. Therefore, teachers and educational institutions should pay special attention to multicultural education and ensure that students engage in inclusive and supportive learning, as well as gain a deep understanding of the values of diversity and mutual respect for differences.
