Abstract

The myth of Princess Mandalika is a significant folktale within the culture of the Sasak people in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. This myth illustrates the sacrifice of a princess for the sake of social harmony within her community, and it reflects profound cultural values. This study employs Claude Lévi-Strauss's structuralist approach to analyse the narrative structure and symbolic meanings within the myth of Princess  Mandalika. Through this analysis, the research aims to understand how the various elements of the myth interact to form a more complex meaning and reflect the duality of values in Sasak culture. The primary focuses of this research are: 1) to analyse the narrative structure of the myth of Princess  Mandalika, 2) to identify the symbolic meanings of the elements within the myth, and 3) to comprehend how this myth reflects the social values and cultural identity of the Sasak community. The analysis reveals that the myth embodies values of collectivism, sacrifice, and the relationship between humans and nature. The sea, as a symbol within the myth, represents uncertainty and the power of nature that must be respected. Furthermore, the sacrifice of Princess Mandalika illustrates a moral principle that emphasises the interests of the community over those of the individual. This study reveals that the myth of Princess Mandalika serves not only as a cultural narrative but also as a mirror of the social values that continue to shape the identity of the Sasak people to this day.

Abstract

The phenomenon of imbalance in the selection of Science (IPA) and Social Science (IPS) streams at the senior high school level remains a relevant issue in the context of Indonesian education. This study aims to explore teachers’ perspectives on the predominant tendency of students to choose the IPA stream at SMAN 1 Mataram, as well as the impacts of this imbalance on both teachers and the social dynamics among students. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews with several teachers from diverse subject backgrounds. The findings indicate that the stream selection process is conducted objectively by considering academic achievement, psychological test results, as well as students’ interests and talents. However, student choices remain dominated by the IPA stream due to rational considerations related to future prospects. This imbalance affects the distribution of teachers’ workload and creates distinct social characteristics between the streams, although it does not cause overt conflicts. These results highlight the importance of fairer stream socialization and the critical role of teachers in providing personalized guidance to students. This study recommends strengthening internal school policies to manage the imbalance and encourages further research exploring students’ perspectives and other socio-cultural variables influencing stream selection.
