Abstract

The weakening of the internalization of character education values in modern society indicates a gap between educational goals and social realities, particularly with respect to parents, social responsibility, and moral awareness. Amid these challenges, folklore as local wisdom has strategic potential to strengthen character formation while functioning as a mechanism of social control. This study aims to identify and describe the character-education values in the Malin Kundang folktale and to analyze its role as an instrument of social control, using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were obtained from the folktale text and millennial informants (aged 18–35) through a limited literature study and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using an interactive technique. The findings showed that the Malin Kundang story contained values such as respect for parents, honesty, humility, responsibility, loyalty to identity, and social awareness, which were integrated into a cause-and-effect narrative structure that effectively shaped moral awareness. In addition, the story functioned as a preventive cultural social control mechanism through symbolic moral consequences, such as the curse turning Malin Kundang into stone. Millennials still interpreted the story as a source of life reflection, particularly regarding respect, self-control, and responsibility, indicating that the folktale remains relevant as a medium for character education and social control in contemporary society.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms and types of vocabulary in the Guyang Cekathak tradition and its relevance in teaching Indonesian to foreign speakers (BIPA). This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive ethnographic method. The research was conducted in Colo Village, Dawe District, Kudus Regency, Central Java, with three informants consisting of religious leaders, village officials, and caretakers. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, vocabulary classification based on morphological form, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the vocabulary forms in this tradition included basic vocabulary, affixed vocabulary, compound words, and repeated words, with a predominance of basic vocabulary. Based on their function, the vocabulary was classified into six types, namely religious, social, objects, rituals and processions, sacred figures and places, and conceptual or descriptive. The vocabulary in the Guyang Cekathak tradition has the potential to be used as teaching material for Indonesian as a foreign language based on local culture because it helps foreign learners understand the Indonesian language as well as the culture of the local community.
