MENYELUSURI KEARIFAN LOKAL: ANALISIS NILAI-NILAI PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER DALAM TRADISI PANTANGAN DI KAMPUNG NAGA

Abstract

This research aims to examine the values of character education contained in the tradition of taboo in Naga Village, Tasikmalaya, as part of oral cultural heritage and local wisdom. The tradition of taboo is not only a traditional taboo, but a value system that shapes the character of society through the internalization of noble values such as religiosity, responsibility, simplicity, respect for ancestors, and social ethics. This study uses a qualitative approach with the Colaizzi phenomenological method, to reveal the deep meaning of people's experiences in undergoing abstinence. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of traditional leaders and residents of Naga Village. The results of the study show that taboos in Kampung Naga function as a medium for character education that grows naturally, inseparable from daily life and the local cultural context. This tradition reflects the three dimensions of character education according to Lickona: moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action. This research reinforces the idea that character education can not only be built through formal institutions, but also through the inheritance of local values that are full of symbolic and spiritual meaning. This study recommends the integration of local wisdom into education policies as a strategic step to face the challenges of globalization.
