Proliferation of Democratic Education in Indonesia : The Influence Measurement of Tolerance, Multiculturalism, and Historical Awareness on the Democratic Attitude

Abstract

Th is research aims to predict the direction of democratic education in Indonesia through the infl uence measurement of tolerance, multicultural sensitivity, and historical awareness of the democratic attitude. Th e multiple linear regression test, coeffi cient determination test, and model accuracy test were used to measure the infl uence of the predictors and the dependent variable. Th e research participants were 300 students, aged between 17 and 18 years, who were taken proportionally in Senior High School (SHS) 1 Surakarta, SHS 5 Surakarta, and SHS 6 Surakarta. Results showed a simultaneous and partial infl uence of tolerance, multicultural sensitivity, and historical awareness on the democratic attitude. Th e authors found that there is no diversion in the proliferation of democratic education in Indonesia, in which tolerance, multicultural sensitivity, and historical awareness have a positive infl uence on the democratic attitude. However, the authors stated that the association between tolerance and democratic education in Indonesia remains problematic, thus, it should be noticed in future research.
