Abstract

This study examines phonological and vocabulary acquisition in early childhood within a multidialectal river-based community in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, where Dayak Bakumpai and Banjar dialects are used concurrently. Employing a qualitative ethnography of communication approach, the research was conducted over six months in Kuripan District, involving 20 children aged 4–6 years, along with 10 parents and 5 teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and audio-visual documentation across home, school, and community contexts. Thematic analysis revealed that children demonstrated phonological flexibility, adjusting pronunciation and prosody according to interlocutor and context, while developing balanced productive vocabularies that expanded substantially across age groups (120/110 words at age four to 280/270 words at age six for Bakumpai/Banjar respectively). Sustained exposure to both dialects across multiple social domains supported concurrent acquisition of dual phonological systems and context-sensitive lexical deployment. Children exhibited early metalinguistic awareness, explicitly recognizing dialectal differences. The findings demonstrate that multidialectal acquisition constitutes a distinct developmental phenomenon requiring theoretical frameworks extending beyond monolingual-bilingual dichotomies. This study contributes to language acquisition theory by highlighting dialectal variation as a meaningful developmental condition and informs culturally responsive language education curricula honoring Indonesia's linguistic diversity.

Abstract

Social-emotional skills are critical for 21st-century elementary education, yet conventional teaching methods in Indonesia inadequately facilitate their development, particularly through integration of local cultural values. This study explored the implementation of project-based learning (PjBL) integrated with the Kayuh Baimbai philosophy—a local wisdom emphasizing cooperation and collective responsibility—to strengthen social-emotional skills among elementary students in the Pasar Terapung Lokbaintan area, South Kalimantan. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving two elementary schools, with data collected through semi-structured interviews with principals and teachers, classroom observations, and documentary evidence. Purposive sampling selected participants meeting inclusion criteria. Data analysis followed Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña's framework, with trustworthiness ensured through triangulation and member checking. The culturally grounded PjBL approach effectively enhanced students' empathy, responsibility, and cooperative behaviors through authentic project activities. Students demonstrated spontaneous prosocial behaviors, sophisticated understanding of collaborative principles, and improved conflict resolution skills. Unexpectedly, the approach fostered student agency and distributed leadership. Implementation challenges included limited preparation time, insufficient contextual materials, and variable parental engagement. Integrating local cultural philosophy into PjBL provides an effective mechanism for strengthening elementary students' social-emotional competencies while preserving indigenous knowledge. The study extends sociocultural learning theory and offers actionable pedagogical strategies for resource-constrained settings.
