Pendidikan Multikultural Untuk Mengatasi Rasisme Dalam Matematika

Abstract

This study aims to determine the role of multicultural education to overcome racism in mathematics. This research was conducted using the method of literature study on concepts related to research. The analysis used is a qualitative approach by tracing various sources such as books and journals, then summed up in an understandable description of the meaning. The results of the research show that in overcoming the racism that exists in mathematics, we need an educational concept that can accept and embrace all kinds of differences so that everyone can get equal opportunities in education. One of them is through the concept of multicultural education which is a concept, an educational reform movement, and a way to change the structure of educational institutions so that male and female students, students with special needs, and students who come from various races, ethnicities, and cultures get equality in obtaining academic achievement in schools. In learning mathematics, teachers are required to provide equal treatment and not be racist towards every student from various different backgrounds. With the differences and diversity that Indonesia has, teachers can take advantage of this in learning mathematics so that in the future students will have a sense of love and respect for all forms of differences and diversity that exist in Indonesia.
