Endah Dwi Sulistiyani, Mahrita, S. Yuliana — Sat, 25 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Local wisdom encompasses noble values believed to be true and upheld within the social order of local communities, with the aim of protecting and sustainably managing the environment. One manifestation of local wisdom in the form of oral tradition art is Lamut, a solo performance art originating from the Banjar people in South Kalimantan. Lamut centers its main character in the narrative and has grown and developed alongside its supporting community. Furthermore, the art of Balamut, a distinctive oral cultural heritage of the Banjar community, uniquely combines elements of storytelling, music, and Islamic values. This performance is generally presented by a pelamut (storyteller) who conveys hikayat (epic tales) or local legends in a distinctive narrative style, accompanied by traditional musical instruments such as the rebana (a type of frame drum). Nevertheless, this oral tradition art is beginning to face the threat of extinction. Therefore, this research aims to comprehensively describe the art of Lamut/Balamut, including its form, function, and the cultural values it embodies, identify the factors contributing to its threatened extinction, and elaborate on preservation efforts amidst the currents of modernization. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including literature study, interviews, and direct observation. The analysis reveals that this art form, believed to have originated in China and integrated into the art of the Banjar community, functions not only as entertainment but also as a medium for moral education and the dissemination of Islamic teachings. Although its existence is beginning to erode due to the progress of time, revitalization efforts by local communities and regional governments are starting to show positive results in maintaining the existence of this art form. This study is expected to contribute to the preservation of local culture and strengthen the cultural identity of the Banjar community.

Hairina, L. Anita, N. Ulhasanah — Sat, 25 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In the midst of the increasingly rapid flow of globalization, the challenges of maintaining cultural identity and moral values are increasingly complex. The education that has been happening in schools often ignores the cultural values of its own people. If there is no cultivation of strong national character, students can lose their national direction and identity. They may grow up to be intellectually intelligent, but morally and character-fragile. Inthis arena, efforts are needed to strengthen the character of students by integrating local wisdom in education. Among the forms of local wisdom in Paya Village, Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency is the tradition of baarian. The goal to be achieved in this study is to briefly describe the baugingan tradition in Paya village, find out the baugingan tradition to form the character of the Paya Village community, and describe the form of implementation of the baugingan tradition in education. The research method used is a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interview techniques and literature review. The results of the study concluded that the baugingan tradition is a practice of mutual cooperation that has long been rooted in the people of Paya Village although it has rarely been done recently, but the social values of the baarian tradition are still inherent in the people of Paya Village such as family, togetherness, mutual help, responsibility, care and mutual respect. These values have a very strong relevance in the formation of students' character. Therefore, it is necessary to integrate this tradition in education both through the curriculum and the development of learning models. This research expects the active role of education units and local governments to support this step as an effort to strengthen the character of students as well as revitalize local wisdom.
