PROFIL EFIKASI DIRI MULTIKULTURAL SISWA SEKOLAH MENENGAH ATAS DAN MADRASAH ALIYAH DI KOTA PALEMBANG
As a multicultural nation, intolerance is identified as one of the “three major sins” of education in Indonesia. Consequently, multicultural education is required in every type of institution, including public schools and schools based on religion. A psychological factor that plays a significant role in this area is multicultural self-efficacy. This study aims to examine the multicultural self-efficacy profile of public high school (SMA) and Islamic high school (Madrasah Aliyah) students in Palembang. The sampling technique used was stratified cluster random sampling, involving 420 students from SMA Negeri 22 Palembang, SMA Negeri 10 Palembang, MAN 2 Palembang, and MAN 3 Palembang. Data were collected using the Multicultural Self-Efficacy Scale for High School, which encompasses five aspects: cultural insight, communication, cultural values, cultural awareness, and flexibility. Quantitative data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test, while supporting data from semi-structured interviews were analyzed through thematic analysis. The results indicated that the majority of SMA and MA students in Palembang possess moderate to high levels of multicultural self-efficacy. Based on the comparative analysis of school types and grade levels, no significant difference was found in multicultural self-efficacy between SMA and MA students. However, further dimensional analysis identified a significant difference in the flexibility aspect (p = 0.047) with SMA students demonstrating greater flexibility than their MA counterparts due to more intensive cross-cultural interactions. Interview data corroborated this, indicating that SMA students are more proactive in adapting to diverse cultural settings, whereas MA students exhibit a tendency toward withdrawal when encountering environments divergent from their identity. These results are intended to assist school counselors in designing guidance and counseling interventions to bolster students' multicultural competence, thereby enhancing their readiness for diversity within academic, social, and professional spheres.
