Abstract

In the era of digital disruption, local legends as instruments of moral education have been marginalized by global content that frequently contradicts local wisdom. This study aims to reconstruct a character education model through the synergy of cultural regulation and the digital transformation of Aceh's local legends. The research adopted a qualitative approach, employing library research and content analysis of cultural policy regulations in Aceh alongside digital practices of folk narratives. The findings indicate that the digital transformation of Aceh's legends through interactive media, ethnoliteracy-based applications, and digital repositories effectively enhances the appeal of character education for Generation Z. However, this transformation necessitates the strengthening of cultural regulations to preserve the authenticity of Islamic and Acehnese values within digitized narratives. The reconstruction of character education grounded in local legends, underpinned by robust regulation and technological innovation, generates a learning ecosystem that is both contemporary and firmly rooted in cultural identity. This study underscores the importance of integrating digital-based local content curricula into formal educational institutions in Aceh to ensure sustainable character development.
