Abstract

Whereas indigenous rituals are commonly considered instruments of cultural preservation, the study asserts that they are a complex, highly effective, andragogical system that helps adults learn to transform. With the Slametan culture of the Osing Kemiren community in Indonesia as one of its focal points, this study challenges the dominance of Western, individualist formulations of education by developing the theme of communal practices that promote adult development. A qualitative ethnographic design was employed to collect data through participatory observation and in-depth interviews with adult participants and community elders (Pinar). The results indicate that Slametan is a Community of Practice (CoP) in which adults advance from peripheral involvement to spiritual leadership. Importantly, the ritual in the role of transformative learning, specifically, the Ruwatan (purification) part in the study, allows adults to overcome the dilemmas of life crises (disorienting dilemmas) by critically examining themselves and engaging in spiritual dialogue. Also, the tradition facilitates ecological andragogy, whereby adults must master local ecological knowledge to make rituals effective. This paper finds that the holistic approach to adult education provided by the Osing model integrates spiritual, social, and ecological aspects that are usually divided in formal Western andragogy.

Abstract

This study examines learning style tendencies among early adult Community Education students and compares their distribution across three cohorts. It responds to limited evidence on Kolb-informed experiential learning tendencies in community education, especially when such data are used for program-level pedagogical reflection rather than psychological labeling. A quantitative cross-sectional descriptive-comparative survey was conducted with total sampling of complete and valid responses from active students in the 2022, 2023, and 2024 cohorts (N = 210). An 18-item practical inventory, conceptually mapped to Kolb's experiential learning dimensions, classified tendencies into diverging, assimilating, accommodating, and converging. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution, cross-tabulation, chi-square test, and Cramer's V. Results showed that diverging was the most common tendency (34.8%), followed by assimilating (33.8%), accommodating (19.5%), and converging (11.9%). Cross-cohort differences were not statistically significant (χ²(6, N = 210) = 4.60, p = .596, V = .10). The findings indicate a stable reflective profile and support multimodal experiential pedagogy for classroom learning and community lab-site practice.
