Abstract

This study examines the existence and perception of the Acehnese people regarding the mythical phrase bek ria that, a prohibition against expressing excessive pleasure or joy. There is an urgent need to examine this research because of the gap between culture, which should be a source of welfare in life, and the meaning of this myth, which seems to prohibit happiness. This study aims to describe the existence and perception of the Acehnese people regarding the bek ria that myth. The approach used is a mixed methods approach with an ethnographic method, where data is collected through questionnaires, participatory observation, and in-depth interviews. The results of the study show that the myth of bek ria that is a sentence that has consequences for not being done by others. The existence of this myth in society is as a social heritage, a normal integration mechanism, and a collective representation. In addition, the study also shows a decline in understanding of the meaning of this myth among the younger generation in Aceh. This study also shows a shift in conception from magical beliefs to rationality. In addition, the religious discourse in this myth also makes it acceptable and perpetuated by society. It is very significant because it provides scientific contributions to social-cultural studies, psychology, and collective beliefs.

Abstract

The Acehnese language constitutes an essential element in the formation of cultural identity, transmitted across generations. However, the ability of the younger generation to write in Acehnese in accordance with orthographic conventions has shown a declining trend. The Meusare Teumuleh program was implemented at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 5 Aceh Besar as a revitalization effort through training based on the local wisdom of Hadih Maja, particularly in the absence of formal Acehnese language instruction at the institution. The implementation methods included socialization, material development, training, mentoring, and evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ competencies, with scores increasing from an initial range of 10–20 to 45–75. The program not only enhanced students’ understanding of Acehnese orthographic systems but also fostered awareness of local cultural values, while encouraging the sustainability of culture-based learning within the school environment.
