Abstract

This study explores the potential for integrating Lonto Leok culture as a character education model based on Pancasila values in schools. This research employs a qualitative approach utilizing a case study methodology. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis in Manggarai communities and schools that have integrated the Lonto Leok cultural tradition into their learning processes. The data analysis confidently employed a triangulation approach to solidify the validity of the research outcomes, ensuring their credibility, dependability, transferability, and confirmability. The research results indicate that the values espoused in Lonto Leok culture, including religiosity, deliberation, unity, peace, and justice, are highly consistent with the principles of Pancasila. The integration of these values in school learning can enhance students' comprehension and appreciation of Pancasila while also reinforcing their character through pertinent and contextual approaches. This research proposes the utilization of Lonto Leok culture as a means of fortifying Pancasila-based character education in the context of the challenges posed by globalization. This report recommends that the Indonesian Ministry of Education adopt a new curriculum to strengthen Pancasila education in primary and secondary schools.

Bahasa Abstract

Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi potensi integrasi budaya Lonto Leok sebagai model pendidikan karakter yang berlandaskan nilai-nilai Pancasila di sekolah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan analisis dokumen di komunitas Manggarai serta sekolah-sekolah yang telah mengintegrasikan tradisi budaya Lonto Leok dalam proses pembelajaran mereka.

Analisis data dilakukan dengan pendekatan triangulasi untuk memperkuat validitas hasil penelitian, sehingga terjamin kredibilitas, keandalan, keteralihan, dan konfirmabilitasnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam budaya Lonto Leok — seperti religiositas, musyawarah, persatuan, kedamaian, dan keadilan — sangat selaras dengan prinsip-prinsip Pancasila.

Integrasi nilai-nilai tersebut dalam pembelajaran di sekolah dapat meningkatkan pemahaman dan apresiasi siswa terhadap Pancasila sekaligus memperkuat karakter mereka melalui pendekatan yang relevan dan kontekstual. Penelitian ini mengusulkan pemanfaatan budaya Lonto Leok sebagai sarana untuk memperkokoh pendidikan karakter berbasis Pancasila dalam menghadapi tantangan globalisasi. Laporan ini merekomendasikan agar Kementerian Pendidikan Indonesia mengadopsi kurikulum baru guna memperkuat pendidikan Pancasila di jenjang sekolah dasar dan menengah.
