Guru Sebagai Teladan Dalam Menumbuhkan Sikap Toleransi Murid Di Kelas

Plurality in the classroom should be seen as a potential for students to learn to complement each other. But in fact, not all students of class VII in one of the Christian Schools in Central Lampung are able to respond well to differences. This gap is the topic of the problem in this study, where data is obtained from observations, accompanied by interview questionnaires and questionnaires. Participants consisted of classroom guardians, counselor teachers and 21 students of class VII. This research was created with the aim of reviewing the importance of teachers as examples in fostering tolerance of students in the classroom, as well as explaining what efforts teachers make in fostering tolerance attitudes of students. The results of the study showed that it is very important for teachers to have transparency. For example, is the response of gratitude to a believer in God, for it has been enabled to live in love with others. Then explained also the efforts made by teachers to foster tolerance of students, namely: showing example, providing reinforcement and explanation of tolerance in learning, and training students to live in community unity. The advice written for the next study is the addition of observation time to see the significance of student development, the involvement of researchers who are more active in the classroom, and more careful in approaching students.
