Abstract

This study explores character education values embedded in Dayak Kanayatn folktales and analyzes their potential as Social Studies learning resources. This qualitative study employed content analysis of five folktales: Ria Sinir and Dara Itam, Pantak Kayu Mamo, Ne' Unte', Ne' Baruakng, and Desa Samuah Labur. The data were analyzed by identifying narrative units, coding values, constructing thematic categories, and mapping their relevance to Social Studies learning. The findings reveal five value domains: moral-personal, social-communal, spiritual, ecological, and civic-cultural values. Dayak Kanayatn folktales preserve local ways of understanding relationships with family, community, ancestors, nature, customary norms, and social responsibility. In Social Studies, these folktales can support critical reading, value discussion, social inquiry, cultural documentation projects, and reflective character learning.

Abstract

Folktales function as important tools for conveying cultural values and shaping social behavior. Yet in modern education, the meaningful messages embedded in traditional narratives, including those from Bukit Menoreh, often receive limited attention in classroom learning. This study explores how Bukit Menoreh folktales can be revitalized as creative Social Studies learning resources to enhance students’ social awareness. Using a qualitative descriptive method with an ethnographic orientation, the research collected data through literature review, interviews with teachers and cultural informants, and content analysis of folktale texts. The analysis involved thematic reduction, organization, and interpretation to identify cultural values relevant to instructional goals. Findings reveal that Bukit Menoreh folktales highlight cooperation, solidarity, and social responsibility, which can be integrated through reflective learning activities. Revitalizing these stories encourages empathy and student engagement with surrounding social issues, demonstrating their significant potential as contextual learning resources that help strengthen students’ character.
