FROM LOCAL TO CLASSROOM: ADAPTING ENVIRONMENT-BASED OSING CULTURAL PRACTICES FOR CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE LITERARY LEARNING
Downloads
This research aims to integrate environment-based Osing local wisdom in literary learning with a culturally responsive approach. In particular, this research focuses on: (1) identify relevant elements of local Osing wisdom integrated in literary learning, (2) designing an environment-based Osing culture-responsive literary learning model, and (3) testing the feasibility of an environment-based Osing culture-responsive literary learning model. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model. The data was collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and document analysis, then analyzed in a qualitative descriptive manner. The results of the study show that some elements of Osing culture that are relevant to be integrated in literary learning include traditional arts (Gandrung, Seblang, Barong Ider Bumi, Angklung Paglak), Osing language, and folklore (Sri Tanjung). The designed learning model emphasizes creative projects, reflective discussions, and the use of multimodal media based on local culture. The implementation of limited tests in Banyuwangi showed a positive response. Students feel more enthusiastic, easily understand literary texts, and are more proud of the local culture. Teachers consider this model to help deliver relevant learning, although they still face obstacles in the form of limited teaching materials, learning media, and training support.
