Abstract

This study aims to describe the relationship of traditional house and communal farming land in Manggaraian society. The study is viewed from the perspective of cultural linguistics as one of the new theoretical perspectives in cognitive linguistics exploring the relationship of language, culture, and conceptualization. The study is descriptive-qualitative. The results of study show that the relationship of traditional house and communal farming land in Manggaraian society is reflected in the verbal expression of Manggaraian language, Gendangn one, lingkon pe’ang ‘Drum inside, round field outside’. The forms and meanings of linguistic phenomena used in the verbal expression designate the conceptualization of Manggaraian society regarding the ownership of the mbaru gendang as the origin house of the wa’u as a patrilineal-genealogic clan living in one village and the lingko randang as common farming land belonging to the wa’u as the source of their life welfare as dry land farmers. The verbal expression is a linguistic evidence inherited from the ancestors of Manggaraian society indicating the existence of the wa’u as partilineal-genealogic clan as a house-based community whose livelihood is as dry land farmers.

Abstract

This article focusses on education. Here, the writers argue that liberating education, widely known as “Program Merdeka Belajar” in Indonesia, be used consistently as a means to successfully create golden Indonesia by 2045. To make its implementation more effective, however, the following ideas be seriously taken into account. First, it is necessary to implement an educational system, from primary to tertiary institutions, based on each single student’s talents, interests, and learning needs. Second, in relation to the first, it is urgent that Indonesian Government stops creating a national curriculum to be nationally applied throughout Indonesia; the Government instead allows each educational institute in this country to have its own “Merdeka Belajar Curriculum,” that is, a school curriculum based on each single student’s talents/potentials, interests, and learning needs. It is, therefore, suggested that a curriculum for each educational institution may no longer be created by Jakarta/Nusantara. Third, to implement “Program Merdeka Belajar” successfully, having great teachers who teach based on their students’ talents, interests, and learning needs is necessary. To achieve this, we suggest, among other things, that the teachers be freely allowed to have further education and/or proper training and that their salary be increased significantly. This, in turn, will lead to the successful creation of Golden Indonesia in 2045 and beyond.

The research aims to serve as a reflection for promoting positive changes in students' development in the future. The study adopted a qualitative and descriptive quantitative approach and was carried out from September to December 2023.
