Abstract

Despite increasing recognition of Indigenous knowledge systems, the role of informal adult learning within customary communities remains under-theorized in mainstream adult education discourse. There is limited understanding of how traditional practices, beliefs, and community structures shape learning processes outside formal institutions. This study investigates the role of informal adult learning in Kampung Adat Banceuy, a Sundanese customary village in West Java, Indonesia. The research focuses on how learning is embedded in four interconnected domains: customary leadership, ritual practice, selective acculturation, and community-based tourism. These domains form a cohesive learning ecology through which cultural knowledge, social roles, and ethical values are transmitted and adapted across generations. Using an ethnographic methodology, the study involved participant observation, semi-structured interviews with 36 informants, and analysis of cultural documents. Data were examined through thematic coding and interpretive analysis to capture the nuanced, situated processes of learning as enacted in everyday life. Findings show that informal adult learning in Banceuy is relational, embodied, and performative. Tourism, in particular, functions as a reflexive learning environment where adults develop narrative, logistical, and intercultural competencies while negotiating cultural meaning and ethical boundaries. Rather than being a site of commodification, tourism becomes a space of identity work and adaptive pedagogy. These insights challenge conventional hierarchies of formal education and affirm the centrality of Indigenous learning systems in sustaining cultural resilience. The study offers implications for policy and theory, emphasizing the need to support culturally embedded, community-driven models of adult education.

Abstract

The Ngalaksa tradition in Rancakalong District is a manifestation of the cultural identity of agricultural communities that functions as a ceremony of gratitude for harvests as well as a mechanism for strengthening social solidarity. This study aims to reveal the philosophical meaning, historical background, ritual structure, as well as the sociocultural and religious values contained in the tradition. The method used is a qualitative approach with field studies through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, and documentation and literature studies. The research results show that Ngalaksa was born from historical reflection on past food crisis trauma and functions as a spiritual preventive instrument to maintain harmony between humans, nature, and God. Socioculturally, this tradition maintains mechanical solidarity through mechanisms of mutual cooperation (gotong royong), deliberation (badanten), and inclusivity of cross-generational participation. Modern adaptations such as the use of technology and formalization of organization strengthen Ngalaksa's cultural resilience amidst globalization. The research conclusion emphasizes the importance of integrating this local wisdom into formal education and digital documentation for sustainable local identity preservation.
