THE USE OF LOCAL WISDOM VALUES THROUGH THE SEREN TAUN YEAR CEREMONY OF THE CIGUGUR INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY AS A SOURCE OF LEARNING SOCIAL STUDIES

Abstract

Abstract. Social studies learning through the application of local wisdom values is an effort to instill a sense of concern for others, expand knowledge about national culture, and is part of efforts to minimize the negative impact of globalization which can no longer be avoided today. These various problems, of course, require solutions, because the impact of globalization will be a serious threat to the nation's young generation if they are not based on an awareness of the importance of traditional values and traditions prevailing in their environment. The focus of the study of this research is devoted to the values in the Seren Taun ceremony. This qualitative research uses descriptive method. The results obtained from this study indicate that local wisdom in the values of the Seren Taun ceremony in the Cigugur Kuningan indigenous community can provide many benefits for survival. These cultural values are considered not only to be able to develop in their culture, but can also apply to all human beings. Thus, these local cultural values can be used as a source of social studies learning, with the aim of making social studies learning more meaningful for students.
