Transformasi Karakter Anak Berbasis Nilai-nilai Kearifan Lokal Melalui Tarian Tradisional: Pendekatan Bootstrap

Abstract

The goal of this study was to look at the impact of traditional dance training on the character development of children in Pekalongan based on local wisdom values. Local wisdom values become an area's identity. These values can be found in a variety of fields, one of which is a traditional dance that can help shape a child's character in a way that is respectful of local culture. This study employs a mixed-method approach, with a focus on quantitative approach. To provide more accurate results, quantitative data analysis was performed using a bootstrap approach to the paired sample t-test. The qualitative results, on the other hand, are based on observations and interviews. Thirty children in primary and junior high school participated in traditional dance training. A dance instructor led the training. There are four traditional dances introduced, namely the ampar-ampar pisang, the cublak-cublak suweng, the manuk dadali, and the payung dances. The findings revealed that after taking part in this training, the participants were able to increase their knowledge and awareness of local cultural values. This result is proven by bootstrap analysis which produces a p-value of 0.00. Among the local wisdom-based characters that were formed, namely honesty, not indulging in lust, caring, like to help, teamwork, a sense of nationalism and nationality, tolerance, readiness, prudence, and vigilance. The implication is that traditional dance practice can be used as an alternative strategy to shape the character of children in society who are interested in local culture.
