Analysis Wisdom Local Story Puppet Traditional Character Education on Pluralism of Elementary School Students

Abstract

This research analyzes local wisdom in traditional puppet stories as a source of pluralism character education for elementary school (SD) students. By using content analysis methods on classical puppet scripts such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, as well as classroom implementation observations, the results show that puppet stories contain pluralistic values such as tolerance, cultural diversity, and social harmony. Implementation through a narrative approach helps SD students understand and appreciate differences, thus supporting the formation of a pluralistic character. These findings emphasize the potential of wayang as an educational medium relevant to Indonesia's multicultural context.
