Penguatan Literasi Budaya melalui Pelatihan Kosakata Lokal Banten bagi Guru di SDN Balaraja 3 Kabupaten Tangerang

Abstract

Strengthening cultural literacy in elementary schools is a strategic effort to address the challenges of globalization, which have the potential to shift local wisdom values. Teachers play a crucial role as primary facilitators in introducing and integrating local culture into learning. This study aims to describe the implementation of Bantenese local vocabulary training as an effort to strengthen cultural literacy for teachers at SDN Balaraja 3, Tangerang Regency. The method used was a qualitative descriptive approach with a community service model through training, outreach, and hands-on practice of using local vocabulary in learning. The participants consisted of SDN Balaraja 3 teachers who participated in the entire training series. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation throughout the training. The results indicate that the Bantenese local vocabulary training improved teachers' understanding of the importance of cultural literacy and broadened their knowledge of regional vocabulary that can be integrated into Indonesian language learning. Furthermore, teachers demonstrated improved skills in designing local culture-based learning activities. This activity also fostered awareness of preserving regional culture through the educational process in elementary schools. Thus, this training has proven to make a positive contribution to strengthening cultural literacy in elementary schools, particularly at SDN Balaraja 3, Tangerang Regency.
