Abstract

This study starts  from a concern related to the  phenomena of  inter ethnic disharmony    , religion and culture in State Senior High School 1 ternate . In order to avoid that , it is necessary to implement the  awareness of the values ??of multicultural education   to create a  social order which is  harmonious , peaceful , and away from the conflict . This study is expected to provide an alternative foundation for the creation of harmonious social relations among ethnics.  The school as an institution  which  accommodates a wide variety of individuals with diverse social backgrounds will also give birth to the attitude and actions of different individuals . This condition can not be denied as we  are always exposed to the diversity of circumstances that are not harmonious and uncertain . Therefore,   to go to an orderly social system there is a need to  civilize the difference  owned by any person or any group member. This study uses a qualitative approach with naturalistic method . The sources of data and information were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews and  documentation .The result of the study indicates that : ( 1 ) the attitude of learners and teachers and school communities in State Senior High School 1 ternate does not show strong sectarian fanaticism , tribes and languages ??, (2 ) the behavior shown reflect learners in different ethnic religious harmony yet because there is still a relatively good stereotypical attitudes influence the dominant culture that exalts the local level and ( 3 ) there is a need to implement the constraint values ??of multicultural education   namely ( a) the teacher and the students do not yet have sufficient understanding and insight about anti religious and ethnic discrimination in schools , ( b ) there is no creation of a teacher or figure models who provide exemplary learners based on the values ??of multicultural education .
