Abstract
  • Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneroka implikasi budaya dan agama ke atas interaksi dalam kalangan murid merentasi etnik di persekitaran bilik darjah. Sampel kajian terdiri daripada seribu orang murid yang dipilih daripada lima buah sekolah menengah di Kedah dan Perak masing-masing. Temu bual berstruktur menggunakan soal selidik digunakan untuk mendapatkan maklumat daripada murid yang dikaji. Berdasarkan hasil kajian, tidak terdapat perbezaan yang banyak antara peratusan murid yang menyatakan bahawa perbezaan budaya tidak menghalang interaksi merentasi etnik di bilik darjah dengan peratusan murid yang menyatakan sebaliknya. Hasil kajian juga menunjukkan bahawa tidak terdapat perbezaan yang banyak antara peratusan murid yang menyatakan perbezaan agama tidak menghalang interaksi merentasi etnik di bilik darjah dengan peratusan murid yang menyatakan sebaliknya. Berdasarkan kajian ini, dapat disimpulkan bahawa perbezaan budaya dan agama mendorong pembentukan sikap prejudis dan stereotaip pada sesetengah murid dan menjejaskan interaksi antara murid merentasi etnik di bilik darjah.
