Stand with the Java implementation of Culture


By Defri Werdiono

When the government mengimbau school class to name the puppet characters, a number of prominent Pandawa has become the name of the office and classroom tutor Taman Siswa Muda Taman Ibu Pawiyatan.
The names written in Java script, as if that made no changes to the school of thought fruit Ki Hadjar Dewantara it. Gempuran in the midst of globalization, continue to maintain the Taman Siswa adiluhung cultural ancestor.
While many school boards to create a name and a motto in English or tertempel who depend on the wall, the Taman Siswa choose another way. Although, they do not reject the inclusion of other languages, including English language to be taught to the students.
Apparently the teachings of Ki Hadjar Dewantara the cultural phase known as trikon term, ie, continuous (old culture and new cultural and hold related), convergent (no relations with foreign culture), and concentric (cultural self-uri diuri fixed, but also absorb foreign culture the appropriate identity of the nation) to become one of the fort so that citizens Taman Siswa not too late with the foreign culture. Ki Hadjar very aware that the child is determined by the nation's own culture.
"Ki Hadjar trust culture, in the form of art, ethics, aesthetics is the most appropriate media to embed and implement character education. Then it's so thick once known as the Taman Siswa school-based culture," said Ki Prijo Daily Mustiko Chairman Assembly Luhur the Park students, on Tuesday (31 / 3).
According to Ki Prijo, fundamental trikon it really applied in the teaching and learning activities in schools. Implementation is adapted to grow the flower children. For, Ki Hadjar believe in the core of education among which education is guiding the development of life to consider, not directing the education of students with stuff all kinds of materials, when they are not yet ready to accept it all.
So, What is "injected" berbudaya to the sense of the students in the Garden so students actually go in the bosom? In fact efforts have been made since the early or when they were still sitting on the benches Indria Park (TK). The tutor will sharpen instinctive sensitivity of children with a variety of traditional games.
"We want the instinct is still a small child who has been trained with their own culture. Now, I, no. Many children who are kindergarten dijejali English. We do not, that is the sensitivity of our Indria latih," said Ki Prijo while mengklarifikasi that art and culture given to the students adjusted to the area because each branch is located in Taman Siswa Indonesia.
Similarly, when their age increases. When entering the ladder Young Park (SD), the children are given the material culture of more increases. One day in the week, the students in the Park Young Mother Who Pawiyatan dibiasakan each other in the language Java. Similarly, the tutor to the students or tutor to tutor, dibiasakan to speak in local languages.
Through the local language this is, Taman Siswa sure can be a medium to inculcate the right moral character to the students who ultimately affect the formation of character. Moral character, according to Ki Prijo not be subject-specific but always ditanamkan to the students at every opportunity. The tutor gives stock to inculcate moral character, including the exact time lesson though.
"For example, a mathematics teacher not only teaches 2 x 4 = 8, but also honesty. With expectations if they are successful, so the investor, for example, does not manipulate data or reduce the dosage. So, we utamakan not only from the academic side, but also moral character, "he said.
In addition, other efforts include the activities in the arts and extra intrakurikuler. For class 1-2 Taman Muda intrakurikuler dolanan have children in the form of a dance while singing. Similarly, for grade 3 and above, there is dancing activities. Beyond all that, there are a number of extracurricular activities such as dancing and karawitan.
Similarly, when students occupied Adult Park (SMP) and Taman Madya (SMA) of an element of art and culture is not abandoned, in addition, they were given the freedom to be able to create more so that the concept of intention ing medium Mangun really materialized. So is the case in most high level, such as universities have departments of art itself. When they enter that stage tut wuri Handayani.
Anastasia Riatriasih, Chairman of the Young Mother's Garden Pawiyatan, said it is not easy to apply it to all students. Understand, to speak only Java, for example, many children who are having difficulties. During this time, they always dijejali with national and international languages.
Perhaps now more time observing the local language, unless we are all willing the local culture missing ... source = compass

according to the general culture ajib Rosidi

IN melee thought about national culture-a theme that in 1930-an invite in the polemic between the intellectuals of the Indonesia-Ajip presumably ditilik interesting. Views-views in this terekspresikan either indirectly in the papers and sastranya directly in the essay-esainya.

Multitude of different thinkers and cultural activists who tend to turn to the West to formulate a concept sesusun about the culture or national culture of Indonesia, such as that used by buzzed Sutan Alisjahbana destiny while trying to decide liaison with the "culture prae-Indonesia" or "local-local culture," Ajip seems more likely to emphasize that the building "keindonesiaan" must be established in such a way without ignoring the importance of heritage "countrified." In this case Ajip seem quite close to the cultural establishment Muh. Rustandi Kartakusuma who fears that orientation to the West only a very vibrant akan cause symptoms "Indosiasi Ciliwung", a kind of responsibility mestijoisme: West not to be fully up to, are to become truly is tercerabut Indonesia's cultural roots.

Ajip itself did not reject or refuse the influence of Western culture that is believed to blow from outside the cultural environment of Indonesia. Simply gambarannya, Pustaka Jaya, which nota bene Ajiplah one of the most important managers up to now, since the business started in 1971 to translate the very diligent works of literature the world's best, whether that comes from the West (United Kingdom, United States, France, Netherlands, etc.. ) and East (Japan, Egypt, Arabia, etc..) in the Indonesian language, so of course literature can enrich the association with the Indonesian literary world. He is, especially when managing DKJ, one that actively encourage colleagues to fellow author Indonesia mengindonesiakan works of world literature. At least, as we can say based on the book Nusa Jawa: Silang Budaya works of Denys Lombard, Ajip including part of a generation of writers of a certain level to participate ditumbuhkan by Balai Pustaka cultural policies, institutions founded by the Dutch colonial government, and until now keep the memories of the era of Balai Pustaka.

Meanwhile, in conjunction with the traditions or aspects of local culture in the environment of Indonesia, Ajip menyikapinya are not naive in the stroke-like caress junk. Just for the sake of example, the decades since 1950s he sastera critics of Sunda, which is no hard and tired kesusasetraan Sunda assert that attempts to build "awareness of a more robust": writing paper sastera not entertain such a painful job, but a kind of weary toil to give testimony on the community. In short, the establishment Ajip in this case it would be able to be depicted-borrow terminology Ignas Kleden in Scientific Attitude and Cultural Critics maintain as-built and participated in a tradition without a "traditional attitudes". Ajip also one of a handful of activist culture Sunda many times suggest undak-basa Sunda usuk (a kind of manners in a gradual or graded-level) does not need to unduly emphasized, because in addition to not tend to also tend to be democratic off the interest the younger generation to take maintain social communication in this adult-an expression of a different attitude with the attitude of the conservative think-undak basa Sunda usuk as part of the identity of Sunda.

Issue that it would be important in this case related to the social reality in preference, encourage and direct precipitation attitude, the culture and views, as expressed by this Ajip. Also it would be important is the extent to which attitudes, culture and views of the consecutive charge-social demands in Indonesia in a certain period.
