Abstract

This research aims to explore the concept of supervision of Islamic education in developing multicultural education. In the era of globalization, multicultural education is an important need to build a society that is inclusive and tolerant of cultural, religious and ethnic diversity. Islamic educational institutions have a great responsibility to integrate multicultural values ​​into their education system. This study uses a literature review system method to analyze various literature and current research related to the supervision of Islamic education and the implementation of multicultural education. The research results show that supervision of Islamic education has a strategic dimension in supporting multicultural education, such as strengthening the curriculum, developing teacher competency, and creating an inclusive school culture. Other findings indicate the important role of educational supervisors in building cross-cultural and religious dialogue, as well as in ensuring that every educational policy and practice reflects the principles of justice and respect for differences. The discussion underscores the need for ongoing training for education supervisors to understand the dynamics of diversity and manage the challenges that arise in the implementation of multicultural education. Apart from that, collaboration between Islamic educational institutions and communities and community organizations is considered crucial for strengthening the practice of multiculturalism. The conclusion of this research confirms that the concept of supervision of Islamic education can be an effective framework in developing multicultural education, as long as it is supported by comprehensive policies, adequate resources, and the commitment of all relevant parties. This research makes a significant contribution to the literature on multicultural education in an Islamic context
