Abstract

Ethnopedagogy is essential for supporting contextual social studies instruction grounded in culture and local wisdom. This study analyzes the Ngerebeg tradition in the Tegal Darmasaba Traditional Village. The primary focus is on identifying values ​​that can serve as resources for social studies learning via an ethnopedagogical approach and determining how to integrate them into the curriculum. Conducted over a three-year period (2023-2025), the research aims to: 1) analyze the potential ethnopedagogical values ​​represented in the Ngerebeg tradition; 2) analyze the social studies content and concepts reflected in the tradition; and 3) analyze methods for implementing these elements in social studies instruction. A qualitative ethnographic research method was employed, with the Ngerebeg tradition serving as the object of study. Research subjects were selected using purposive and snowball sampling techniques, the total sample consisted of 28 individuals, five of whom were selected purposively. Data analysis utilized an ethnographic thematic approach. Empirical ethnographic findings reveal that the Ngerebeg tradition embodies religious, educational, economic, artistic, social, political, theoretical, and symbolic values. Furthermore, analysis and pedagogical recommendations indicate that the philosophical and practical aspects of the Ngerebeg tradition reflect social studies subject matter. Ethnopedagogical application of the Ngerebeg tradition can be achieved through field studies, the development of learning resources, and the creation of instructional media. The study concludes that the Ngerebeg tradition holds educational and contextual value and aligns with the social studies curriculum for middle school.
