Membangun Karakter Menghargai Budaya Lokal Melalui Lagu Daerah Sunda Pada Pelaksanaan Upacara di Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of singing Sundanese folk songs after the Flag Ceremony in building the character of appreciating the local culture of students at SDN 1 Cisurupan. The research method used is qualitative with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that singing Sundanese folk songs after the Flag Ceremony is one of the effective ways to build the character of appreciating the local culture of students. This is evidenced by positive changes in students' attitudes and behaviors, such as more appreciation for Sundanese culture, more active in Sundanese art activities, and more confidence in using the Sundanese language. The implementation of singing Sundanese regional songs after the flag ceremony is divided into 3 parts, namely planning, implementation, and evaluation. Singing Sundanese songs at the flag ceremony can increase students' awareness of the importance of preserving Sundanese culture. School support, the active role of teachers, and the availability of learning media can support the implementation of the process of building character to appreciate local culture. Building character to appreciate local culture has several inhibiting factors, including the lack of students' knowledge of Sundanese songs, the lack of interesting learning media, limited learning time at school, and the lack of support from parents at home.
