Abstract

This study examines how Dulmuluk theater—a traditional performing art from Palembang, Indonesia—can be integrated into formal education as a medium for character development and social transformation. While recognized as cultural heritage, its pedagogical use in schools remains underexplored. A qualitative hermeneutic phenomenological approach was employed to understand the lived experiences of educators and students involved in Dulmuluk-based learning. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with 3 teachers and 6 students, documentation review, and audiovisual materials. Thematic analysis was used to interpret the data. Findings revealed that Dulmuluk theater effectively conveys moral values such as honesty, discipline, environmental awareness, respect for parents, social solidarity, and responsibility. These values are internalized through a three-stage process: understanding (exploration of scripts and character analysis), application (performance-based learning and collaboration), and habituation (reflection and behavior reinforcement). Students demonstrated improved moral reasoning, social interaction, and empathy through their engagement with the theater. The integration of Dulmuluk into character education aligns with constructivist and socio-cultural learning theories by fostering experiential, affective, and culturally relevant learning. It serves as a powerful tool for reinforcing local values, enhancing emotional literacy, and supporting inclusive, democratic learning environments. The study recommends formal curriculum integration and teacher training to support this approach.

Abstract

Community-based arts education plays a vital role in cultural preservation, yet it is often shaped by ideological forces. This ethnographic study explores how conservative ideology manifests within the traditional dance education practices of Sanggar Dinda Bestari in South Sumatra, Indonesia, and its implications for pedagogy, cultural identity, and intergenerational transmission. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, data were collected over three months through participant observation, in-depth interviews with dance instructors, students, and studio managers, and documentation of teaching practices. Thematic analysis was conducted following Braun and Clarke’s framework, with critical discourse analysis used to examine power dynamics and ideological reproduction in dance pedagogy. Findings reveal that conservative ideology is embedded in dance learning through hierarchical teacher-student relationships, sacred framing of traditional repertoires, norms of modesty, and obedience in instruction. While these practices preserve cultural authenticity, they also restrict creative expression and dialogue, particularly among younger learners. Tensions arise between tradition and modernity, as seen in efforts to adapt dance instruction for social media or engage youth participation. Sanggar Dinda Bestari serves as both a site of cultural reproduction and ideological negotiation. While conservative values support continuity and discipline, they may also limit innovation. A hybrid pedagogical model that balances tradition with participatory and adaptive strategies is proposed. This study contributes to broader discourses on how ideology shapes non-formal arts education and offers insights into navigating cultural preservation in the context of globalization and generational change.

Abstract

Kemidi Rudat, a traditional Sasak theater from Lombok, functions as a nonformal educational medium that transmits cultural, moral, and religious values through performance. While its aesthetic and historical aspects have been previously studied, limited research has examined its pedagogical role amidst sociocultural change, particularly the interplay of conservative and liberal educational values. This study employs a qualitative case study approach at the Panca Pesona Art Studio, using participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed through the Miles and Huberman interactive model to explore how nonformal learning practices within Kemidi Rudat integrate preservation and innovation. Findings show that conservative values emphasize authenticity, such as traditional language, music, and etiquette, promoting cultural identity and character education. Liberal values, meanwhile, allow for innovation through story adaptation, use of modern instruments, and inclusivity, making the art form more appealing to younger generations. The Panca Pesona Studio mediates these values through a hybrid pedagogical model that balances tradition with creativity. Rather than conflicting, conservative and liberal perspectives function complementarily—conservatism anchors authenticity, while liberalism ensures relevance and sustainability. This dialectical learning model supports the preservation of cultural heritage while adapting to contemporary challenges. The study offers practical implications for educators, policymakers, and cultural practitioners in strengthening community-based arts education.
