The purpose of this study was to identify whether or not there are significant differences in the variables of student centralization, teacher questioning, teacher modelling and high level thinking skill of students based on the race of primary school students in Kudat, Sabah, Malaysia. This quantitative study used a survey method involving 250 respondents from the stated population. This study referred to the Absorption Learning Model (Swartz, Fischer and Parks, 1998) as its basis. Data analysis was done using one way ANOVA analysis with Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 22. Based on the students in Kudat district, the results showed that Dusun students as Islamic minorities were mostly interested in the questionnaire and modelling of teachers in the class. In addition, all students from every ethnic group have the same tendency towards the continuity of socialisation from outside the classroom such as student centring activities and high-level thinking skills for Islamic Education subjects. It is hoped that this study will provide useful inputs for improving teachers' infusion teaching practices on racial diversity and religious background in Kudat and other regions.
