Abstract

This study aims to determine the role of primary school principals in religious moderation in a multicultural society. The primary education is the initial basis for students to know the basics of the level of education that will be directed in the future. Semarang has a fairly high religious heterogeneity, requiring schools to highly respect the existing diversity. This study uses a qualitative research approach. The data sources in this study are primary data sources and secondary data sources. The sources of secondary data in this study are reference books that support this study. The data collection techniques use observation techniques, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the role of elementary school principals in religious moderation included five indicators; those are conservator, innovator, transmitter, transformer, and organizer.
