Development of Student Character Strengthening Teaching Materials Based on Balinese Kekidungan

Abstract

Local culture is often marginalized and neglected. The stigma attached to traditions, such as being considered old-fashioned, outdated, and out of date, often erodes their essential values. The purpose of this study is to analyze various types of poetry or pupuh that have the potential to become sources for developing teaching materials. This study uses a qualitative approach. Data analysis techniques encompass data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of the study revealed various types of pupuh that can be used as sources for developing teaching materials, such as Ginada, Durma, Ginanti, and Maskumambang. In Ginada poetry, the essential value taught as an aspect of character formation is the value of learning ethos. This also serves as a basic foundation for a learner, especially in increasing opportunities to explore various horizons. Character values for consistent self-improvement, when practiced gradually, will enhance the quality of the learner; learners are taught to view everything comprehensively. Durma poetry teaches the character of resilience. In the reality of metropolitan life, every human being, especially learners, faces various challenges. This fluid and constantly changing reality demands high adaptability and resilience. Furthermore, Pupuh Ginanti teaches the character of futuristic thinking. Knowledge provides projections of present and future potential. Students are tasked with finding solutions, not just short-term and immediate ones, but also long-term ones that address ongoing needs.
