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.

Abstract

Islamic character values that include piety, honesty, discipline, tolerance, and social concern must be internalized from an early age. To address the challenges of internalization that tend to be rigid, approaches through art, particularly visual expression, become relevant. Visual arts, like drawing, are the universal language of children that facilitate authentic self-expression, where emotions, understanding, and values can be realized without verbal barriers, thus becoming a potential medium for instilling character. This research uses a qualitative approach with literature review or by looking at previous research as reference material in article writing. Based on the results of the research obtained, children's drawings can be a very effective foundation for knowing character education in children. In addition, it helps shape children into better individuals, have strong characters, balance emotionally, intellectually, socially, and spiritually. Integrative in character education through religion and art provides significant theoretical benefits in synthesizing the philosophy of Islamic education, fine arts education, and the psychology of child development.

Abstract

Perang Kembang is one of the important scenes in Javanese shadow puppet (wayang kulit) performance, typically presented in Pathet Sanga, a phase marked by the intensification of dramatic conflict. This scene depicts a battle between a knight and Cakil along with a group of giants, symbolizing the inner struggle of human beings in confronting their desires. However, studies on wayang as a medium for character education generally still emphasize moral messages in a broad sense and have not sufficiently elaborated on how the value of self-control is specifically represented and internalized through the aesthetic elements of the performance, particularly the configuration of characters and the structure of movements (sabetan) in the Perang Kembang scene. Departing from this gap, this article aims to examine the symbolic aesthetics of Perang Kembang by focusing on (1) how the character of Cakil and the distinctive gendiran movements of the knight construct the meaning of controlling desire, and (2) how the mechanism of internalizing these values operates through the audience’s aesthetic experience within the context of arts education. This study employs an interpretative qualitative approach grounded in the theories of aesthetic experience, artistic symbolism, and Javanese philosophy. Data were collected through performance observation, documentation, reflection on puppetry practice, and literature review. The findings indicate that the visual, vocal, and movement characteristics of Cakil, which are aggressive, represent uncontrolled desire, while the gendiran movements of the knight demonstrate qualities of control, precision, and rhythm as symbols of refined inner power. The pattern of Cakil’s death by his own dagger reinforces the ethical message that desires left unchecked have the potential to destroy their subject. These findings strengthen the contribution of this research by concretely demonstrating the relationship between movement structure, dramatic symbols, and value internalization. Thus, Perang Kembang can be positioned as a model for self-control education based on aesthetic experience, which is relevant for the development of arts education rooted in local wisdom.

Abstract

Elementary dance education is commonly delivered through imitation and rote memorization, thereby constraining opportunities for children to develop body awareness, social interaction, and creative movement exploration. Although creative dance has been extensively theorized, the integration of mind–muscle exercises as an embodied pedagogical approach in elementary dance learning remains insufficiently examined. This study investigates how mind–muscle exercises facilitate the development of body awareness, social interaction, and creativity among primary school students in dance education. A qualitative case study was conducted at SDN Pulorejo 1 Jombang, involving 26 first-grade students. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, documentation, and field notes and subsequently analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that mind–muscle exercises significantly enhanced students’ awareness of body parts, movement quality, spatial orientation, and energy regulation, enabling more intentional and confident movement execution. Moreover, the activities fostered meaningful social interaction through processes of imitation, collaboration, negotiation, and collective movement composition. Creativity emerged dynamically throughout the learning process, as students actively explored, modified, recombined, and expressed original movement ideas rather than merely replicating teacher demonstrations. These findings suggest that mind–muscle exercises operate as an effective embodied pedagogical strategy, repositioning the child’s body from a passive object of imitation to an active subject of exploration, interaction, and creative expression. This study contributes to the field of elementary dance pedagogy by offering an exploratory, participatory, and body-awareness-oriented instructional model that supports embodied learning and the development of creativity in primary education contexts.
