Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: : This study aims to explore how culturally responsive teaching management is implemented in elementary schools with multicultural environments, and its impact on student engagement. Culturally responsive teaching is an approach that adapts teaching methods to students' cultural backgrounds, thereby creating an inclusive and culturally relevant learning environment. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach in an elementary school with high cultural diversity. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal, teachers, and students, and direct observation of the learning process in the classroom. The results of the study indicate that culturally responsive teaching management can increase student engagement in learning, especially in terms of active participation, motivation, and interaction between students from different cultural backgrounds. In addition, this study identified several challenges in implementation, such as teachers' limited understanding of the cultural approach, and the need for special training for educators. This study suggests the need for more targeted management policies in the implementation of culturally responsive teaching in order to create a more inclusive and productive learning environment.
