<![CDATA[This study aims to uncover the educational values contained in the traditional kurung-kurung music of the Dayak Meratus community in Loksado, South Kalimantan. The kurung-kurung music, played in an ensemble with bamboo instruments, serves not only as entertainment or a complement to traditional ceremonies, but also as a means of transmitting cultural values through an ethnopedagogical approach. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Analysis was carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that kurung-kurung music contains important educational values for the community, namely: (1) discipline, (2) awareness of environmental conservation, (3) obedience to leaders, (4) tolerance, and (5) mutual cooperation. These values are rooted in the local wisdom of the Meratus agrarian community that prioritizes social and ecological harmony. Thus, kurung-kurung music not only preserves cultural identity, but also functions as a medium for character education that is relevant to the needs of the younger generation in the modern era.]]>
