Abstract

Culturally Responsive Teaching emphasizes the importance of recognizing and incorporating students’ cultural backgrounds into the learning process to promote more effective and meaningful learning experiences. As Indonesia is a nation characterized by immense cultural diversity, the application of CRT is particularly relevant, ensuring that education is tailored to its students’ unique needs and contexts. This research investigates the integration of Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) within Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum, focusing on how it can enhance student engagement and foster a more inclusive educational environment. The research employs qualitative data collection methods, such as interviews, and classroom observations, to evaluate how CRT impacts student engagement, participation, and inclusivity. The study highlights how CRT fosters active learning by creating environments where students feel recognized and valued. The findings indicate that incorporating CRT into the Merdeka Curriculum through initiatives like Kampus Mengajar 7 can enhance learning outcomes. Students from underserved communities show increased engagement, motivation, and participation when their cultural identities are acknowledged and respected in the learning. Ultimately, the research advocates for the broader application of CRT within the Indonesian education system, arguing that it is a key strategy for promoting inclusivity, equity, and meaningful learning experiences for all students.
