Abstract

Tolerance amongst Muslims, Buddhists, Christians, and believers in Jrahi village has been going on hereditarily. However, with the development of information technology that shows various intolerant actions, the condition is now presumed to be more worrying that the attitude of the community gets affected, especially that of the children. Therefore, this research aims at building the attitude of tolerance to students of SDN 1 Jrahi which was conducted by each religion teacher by inculcating religious values in intercultural education. This research used a qualitative approach and the data collection method was by using observation, interviews, and documentations. The data sources of this research comprise the teachers of SDN 1 Jrahi, the surrounding community, and the students. The research results include: first, the teachers inculcate tolerance to the students with intercultural education, that is, by building good rapport amongst human beings democratically. Second, the teachers always gave opportunities to the students to apply teachings of religion through having prayers in congregation, in-depth learning of gospel, and puja bhakti (devotion). Third, it was found that mutual understanding amongst people across religions was successfully built by the teachers, students, and the community.
