Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the motives of students at SMAN 4 Padang in choosing or determining their extracurricular activities in traditional martial arts from the perspective of the philosophy of science, which consists of ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions. In this study, the method used is a qualitative approach, namely through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of this study show that students' motives have many aspects, consisting of intrinsic motives, namely the desire to preserve local culture, build identity, and create self-discipline. In addition, there are also extrinsic motives, namely encouragement from the social environment and appreciation of local cultural values. From a philosophical perspective, ontologically, traditional silat can be interpreted by students as a cultural essence and identity. Epistemologically, traditional silat is a learning process obtained through direct experience and reflection on values acquired in social interactions. Axiologically, traditional silat activities deepen moral values, solidarity, and appreciation for local culture. This study confirms that the philosophy of science has a very close relationship with understanding a phenomenon of education based on cultural values. Traditional silat can not only shape students' physical abilities, but also shape their awareness of knowledge, values, and the meaning of humanity in the context of social science education.
