Ki Hajar Dewantara's Multicultural Education Thought And Its Relevance To Pancasila Ideology

This qualitative study in the form of a character study aims to identify the dimensions of multicultural education thought from a Muslim intellectual in Indonesia named Ki Hajar Dewantara, and its relevance to the values of Pancasila. The data was collected using documentation techniques, and analysed using content analysis. This study found value dimensions in Ki Hajar Dewantara's multicultural education thought, including the value of independence and peace, the value of humanity, and the value of deliberation and leadership. These values have synergy with the educational content in Pancasila. First, the value of independence and peace in the formation of individual characters who respect the plurality of beliefs (religions), and uphold the spirit of social integration. Second, the value of humanity in the formation of individual characters who uphold human values. Third, the value of deliberation and leadership in the formation of individual characters that emphasise democratic life and social justice. The findings of this study confirm that the strengthening and dissemination of Pancasila values for the building of the civilisation of multicultural life of Indonesian society can be found in moderate educational thinking.
