INTEGRASI NILAI BUDAYA LOKAL DALAM PROGRAM LITERASI DI SEKOLAH DASAR NEGERI 1 MAYONG

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This research aims to examine the implementation of the integration of local cultural values in

the literacy program at Mayong State Elementary School, as well as to explore its impact on

students' literacy abilities. Literacy here is understood not only as reading and writingskills, but

also as the ability to understand and appreciate local culture through teachingmaterials based

on local folklore and traditions. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study

method. Data was collected through interviews with teachers, classroom observations, and

analysis of learning documents. The research results show that the integration of local cultural

values in the literacy program at SD Negeri 1 Mayong has a positive impact on students' reading

and writing skills. Apart from that, this approach also strengthens students' understanding of

their culture, supports the preservation of local cultural values, and helps shape students' better

character, such as respect for traditions and the environment. However, this research also found

several challenges in its implementation, including limited educational resources and resistance

to curriculum changes. Therefore, it is recommended to increase training for teachers and

provide more local culture-based teaching materials to support the sustainability of this

program.
