Abstract

The rapid digital transformation in education has triggered a moral crisis characterized by rising intolerance, cyberbullying, and a decline in digital ethics. While technology offers educational benefits, it often lacks the moral scaffolding necessary for character development. This study aims to bridge the gap between local cultural values and digital education by examining the Gapura Pancawaluya model. It seeks to formulate how Sundanese local wisdom can be operationalized as a pedagogical framework for fostering digital citizenship. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach with a systematic literature review design. Data were collected from academic documents published between 2015–2025, selected through purposive sampling based on keywords related to ethnopedagogy and digital ethics. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques: reduction, display, and verification. The findings demonstrate that Gapura Pancawaluya transforms abstract cultural values into five applicable digital competencies: Cageur (Digital Wellbeing), Bageur (Digital Ethics), Bener (Information Literacy), Pinter (Critical Thinking), and Singer (Digital Resilience). This integration supports the realization of Manusa Waluya—a holistic human being aligned with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4. The study concludes that Gapura Pancawaluya is not merely a traditional artifact but an adaptive framework essential for strengthening character education in the digital era.
