Abstract

This Kayu Aro Tea Plantation, located in Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province, is one of the oldest surviving Dutch colonial tea plantations that continues to operate today and possesses significant historical, social, economic, and cultural value. Nevertheless, its potential as a local history learning resource has not been optimally integrated into history education. This study aims to examine the historical values of the Kayu Aro Tea Plantation and explore its potential as a source of local history learning. The research employed a qualitative approach using historical research combined with library research. Data were collected through documentary studies of historical archives, scholarly literature, official documents, and other relevant secondary sources. Data analysis followed the stages of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, complemented by content analysis to identify the site's educational values. The findings reveal that the Kayu Aro Tea Plantation represents not only the development of the Dutch colonial plantation economy but also the social dynamics, labor migration, cultural acculturation, and societal transformation of the Kerinci community from the colonial era to the post-independence period. Historical remains, including the tea processing factory, Bedeng Delapan Hospital, administrators’ residences, and workers’ settlements, constitute authentic historical evidence that can serve as contextual learning resources. Integrating these heritage assets into history education enhances students’ historical thinking skills, strengthens cultural identity, fosters historical awareness, and supports the preservation of local cultural heritage. Therefore, the Kayu Aro Tea Plantation has substantial potential to be developed as a site-based history learning laboratory that promotes contextual, critical, and meaningful history education.

Abstract

Kenduri Sko is an intangible cultural heritage of the Kerinci community that embodies historical, social, religious, and educational values with significant potential as a source of history learning. However, the integration of local cultural heritage into history education remains limited, as classroom instruction continues to rely predominantly on textbooks and national historical narratives. This study aims to analyze the values embedded in the Kenduri Sko tradition and examine its potential as a history learning resource through the perspectives of ethnopedagogy and critical pedagogy. A qualitative approach employing an exploratory case study design was adopted. The research was conducted in Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province, Indonesia. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with customary leaders and community members, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that Kenduri Sko functions not only as a ritual to honor ancestors and express gratitude for agricultural harvests but also as a medium for transmitting historical knowledge, collective memory, cultural identity, and local values, including mutual cooperation, social solidarity, deliberation, responsibility, and environmental stewardship. From an ethnopedagogical perspective, the tradition provides a contextual learning resource that connects students with their local historical and cultural experiences. Furthermore, from the perspective of critical pedagogy, Kenduri Sko encourages students to develop historical consciousness, critical thinking skills, and awareness of the dynamic transformation of cultural traditions in response to modernization and globalization. This study concludes that Kenduri Sko has substantial potential to be integrated into history education through project-based learning, field studies, and oral history approaches, thereby strengthening historical literacy, character education, and the sustainable preservation of local cultural heritage.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the potential of Berhala Island as a historical educational tourism destination for the public, students, university students, and teachers. Berhala Island is an entry point to the Riau Islands Province and has historical and cultural significance. The uniqueness of this island lies in its historical heritage related to Jambi Province. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that Berhala Island possesses historical relics connected to the origins of the Jambi kingdom, namely the Tomb of Datuk Paduko Berhala. In addition, the island also preserves evidence of the Japanese occupation in Jambi, such as Japanese cannons, kitchens, and bunkers. These historical remains can serve as valuable educational tourism attractions. Furthermore, the natural beauty of Berhala Island supports the development of experience-based history learning and the preservation of local culture for younger generations and the wider community.
