This paper reports the effect of Balinese folktale literacy learning on elementary students’ reading ability and social attitudes. The type of research is pseudo-experimental research with a non-equivalent post-test-only control group design. The population in this study was 129 students. The sample was selected by using random sampling techniques.  23 students were treated as an experimental group and 27 students were treated as a control group. The data were obtained by administering multiple-choice tests and distributing questionnaires. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistical analysis techniques and inferential statistics, i.e., Manova-test.  The data of this study were also described through the classification level of each data group by using five conversion guidelines. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the reading ability and the social attitudes of the students taught by using folktale literacy learning and those who were taught by using conventional learning.  It can be seen from the Sig.< value of 0.05. Based on these results, it can be concluded that Balinese folktale literacy learning affected reading ability and social attitudes of  elementary students.

Abstract

Prasi, as a traditional artwork, has unique characteristics by displaying the identity of Balinese art and culture. It is a manuscript on palm leaves with wayang illustrations, sometimes accompanied by short text in Balinese characters. Prasi has aesthetic and classical value because the materials and equipment used, production techniques, and wayang form are still traditional. As an artwork, Prasi conveys a symbolic meaning through the story it depicts. This paper describes: (1) a critical review of the aesthetic value and natural character of the raw materials of Prasi; (2) a critical review of the visual aspects of the image and its configuration on palm leaf blades to produce Prasi artwork of good artistic value. Data were collected by purposive sampling by looking for prominent artists and community leaders who know about Prasi. Collecting data is done through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data obtained are grouped based on the type of data, then analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods. The results showed: (1) the aesthetic value of Prasi raw materials from palm leaves is processed to produce a smooth and durable surface, so it is easy to cut using pengrupak to display wayang images assembled from several palm leaves; (2) the visual aspect of Prasi art is artistically composed of elements of line, plane, color, texture, and space through the form of classical wayang images and other supporting decorative motifs in a series of stories taken from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and traditional Balinese stories that have aesthetic value.
