Abstract:
Education plays a significant part in the development of tolerance, which is the primary basis for the establishment of harmony and peace. The management of the cultural, religious, and social variety of its students is an important responsibility that falls on the shoulders of schools, which are official educational institutions. This research was carried out at SMK Pustek Serpong, and it was inspired by the phenomena of intolerance that exist among students from various backgrounds. To foster active contact, collaboration, and an appreciation of differences through problem-solving related to diversity, a problem-based learning model was selected as the appropriate instructional approach. In the context of a multicultural educational setting, the purpose of the study was to promote tolerance using problem-based learning. Case studies, observations, interviews with informants, and documentation were considered as part of the qualitative methodology used. Despite obstacles such as teachers' lack of understanding, students' initial unwillingness to welcome differences, and time limits, the findings suggest that problem-based learning has the potential to cultivate attitudes of tolerance among students. To summarise, problem-based learning has the potential to cultivate tolerance among students who come from a variety of backgrounds.
