PELAKSANAAN PROGRAM SABTU BUDAYA DALAM MENUMBUHKAN MULTIKULTURALISME PADA PESERTA DIDIK (STUDI DI SMK NEGERI 1 LOPOK KABUPATEN SUMBAWA )

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the cultural saturday program in

fostering multiculturalism among students at SMKN 1 Lopok, Sumbawa Regency,

and to identify the factors that influence its implementation. A qualitative approach

with a phenomenological design was used, with data collected through interviews,

observations, and documentation. The informants consisted of the school

principal, teachers, and students. Data were analyzed using the Miles and

Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion

drawing, while data validity was tested through technique triangulation, source

triangulation, and time triangulation. The results showed that the cultural saturday

program has significantly contributed to fostering multiculturalism through regular

Saturday activities that reflect the cultures of the three major ethnic groups in West

Nusa Tenggara: Sasak, Samawa, and Mbojo. These activities include: (1) Gemar

Gatra gymnastics integrated with traditional movements and games, accompanied

by traditional music instruments; (2) student cultural exhibitions featuring items

such as woven bags with Sumbawan patterns, Sasak traditional house miniatures,

and Mbojo cultural posters; (3) traditional costume competitions displaying songket

fabrics and distinctive ethnic attire like sapuq and lambung (Sasak), lamung pene

(Samawa), and rimpu (Mbojo); and (4) the performance of regional songs such as

Sabalong Samalewa (Sumbawa), Budaye Sasak (Lombok), and Nangi Dana

Tambora (Bima). However, there are factors that influence the implementation of

the cultural saturday program at SMKN 1 Lopok, Sumbawa Regency, which are

divided into two main categories, namely: 1) Supporting factors, consisting of

internal factors (human resources) and external factors (community and parental

involvement). 2) Inhibiting factors, consisting of internal factors (limited facilities

and infrastructure) and external factors (social environment and local cultural

conditions).
