Abstract

This study aims to identify the factors of prejudice that can lead to radicalization among elementary school students and to improve understanding of the values of diversity and tolerance through academic literacy. This study was conducted in elementary schools in Palu City involving 500 students who were divided into two groups: experimental and control. The research method used was descriptive research with a quasi-experimental design, where both groups were given pre- and post-tests to measure the increase in attitudes of respect and tolerance. Data were collected through test instruments that measured students' moral attitudes towards diversity and radicalization, while data analysis techniques used descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing. The results showed that the experimental group that participated in the "Baku Sayang and Baku Jaga" program experienced a significant increase in respect and tolerance values. The N-gain score for respect in the experimental group increased by 0.79 (high category), and for tolerance increased by 0.82 (high category), while the control group only showed a moderate increase with N-gain scores of 0.33 and 0.35, respectively. The findings confirm that the program is effective in increasing students’ respect and tolerance which can reduce the potential for radicalization among them. This study suggests that academic literacy-based approaches and discussion groups are effective strategies to support character education in elementary schools. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor prasangka yang dapat menyebabkan radikalisasi di kalangan siswa sekolah dasar serta untuk meningkatkan pemahaman tentang nilai-nilai keberagaman dan toleransi melalui literasi akademik. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di sekolah dasar Kota Palu dengan melibatkan 500 siswa yang dibagi menjadi dua kelompok: eksperimen dan kontrol. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan desain kuasi-eksperimental, di mana kedua kelompok diberi tes pra dan pasca untuk mengukur peningkatan sikap menghormati dan toleransi. Data dikumpulkan melalui instrumen tes yang mengukur sikap moral siswa terhadap keberagaman dan radikalisasi, sedangkan teknik analisis data menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan uji hipotesis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelompok eksperimen yang mengikuti program “Baku Sayang dan Baku Jaga” mengalami peningkatan yang signifikan pada nilai rasa hormat dan toleransi. Skor N-gain untuk rasa hormat pada kelompok eksperimen meningkat sebesar 0,79 (kategori tinggi), dan untuk toleransi meningkat sebesar 0,82 (kategori tinggi), sementara kelompok kontrol hanya menunjukkan peningkatan yang moderat dengan skor N-gain masing-masing 0 ,33 dan 0,35. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa program ini efektif dalam meningkatkan sikap menghormati dan toleransi siswa yang dapat mengurangi potensi radikalisasi di kalangan mereka. Penelitian ini menyarankan bahwa pendekatan berbasis literasi akademik dan kelompok diskusi merupakan strategi yang efektif untuk mendukung pendidikan karakter di sekolah dasar.

Abstract

The Sawer tradition is an important stage in Sundanese traditional wedding ceremonies that incorporates various verbal and nonverbal symbols as a medium for conveying advice, prayers, and cultural values to newlywed couples. However, the symbolic meanings embedded in this tradition are not fully understood by the community, including some members of the Sundanese ethnic group themselves. This study aims to describe and analyze the forms and meanings of verbal and nonverbal symbols in the Sawer tradition of Sundanese wedding ceremonies in Beringin Jaya Village, Bumi Raya District, Morowali Regency. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using Ferdinand de Saussure’s semiotic theory. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings reveal that verbal symbols in the Sawer tradition are expressed through four categories of ritual songs: the opening song, the song for the groom, the song for the bride, and the closing song. These symbols represent religiosity, responsibility, commitment, fidelity, cooperation, harmony, and divine blessing. Meanwhile, the nonverbal symbols, including yellow rice, candies, money and coins, and an umbrella, symbolize prosperity, harmony, economic well-being, protection, and family happiness. The findings indicate that the Sawer tradition functions as a medium for transmitting cultural, moral, social, and religious values and plays a significant role in preserving the cultural identity of Sundanese migrant communities.
