Nilai-Nilai Pendidikan Multikultural Dalam Kisah Wayang Semar Bodronoyo

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the values of multicultural education contained in the Semar Bodronoyo puppet story. Wayang, as one of Indonesia's cultural heritages, is often used as a medium for conveying moral and educational messages, including multicultural education. Semar, as the central figure in puppetry, represents a wise figure who symbolizes diversity and social justice. Through the analysis of Semar's character and interactions with other characters, the author identifies various values such as tolerance, cooperation, and respect for diversity. Through qualitative descriptive methods, this study analyzes the narrative and dialogue in the Semar Bodronoyo play to reveal the values of tolerance, justice, equality, and togetherness in cultural diversity. The results of the study indicate that the Semar Bodronoyo story contains important messages about respect for differences in culture, religion, and outlook on life, as well as the importance of mutual respect in a multicultural society. This research is expected to contribute to the development of multicultural education in Indonesia by using local cultural media, such as wayang, as a learning tool. The values contained in this wayang are not only relevant in the context of Javanese culture, but also provide universal lessons for modern society in facing the challenges of globalization. Thus, Wayang Semar Bodronoyo can be used as an effective educational medium to develop multicultural attitudes among the younger generation.
