A study on the application of Ki Hajar Dewantara’s educational philosophy values among fifth-grade elementary school students

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate how the values of Ki Hajar Dewantara’s educational philosophy, including Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha, Ing Madya Mangun Karsa, and Tut Wuri Handayani, are applied in the environment of SD 094133 Manik Rambung elementary school. This article uses descriptive qualitative research. This method was chosen because studying the values of Ki Hajar Dewantara’s philosophy requires a deep understanding of how the values of Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha, Ing Madya Mangun Karsa, and Tut Wuri Handayani are applied in the learning process at SD 094133 Manik Rambung. This approach allows researchers to collect data through direct observation, interviews, and document analysis. Students participate well in learning, but based on the results of observations obtained by researchers, there are still students who have learning qualities that need to be improved in understanding the lessons from teachers. Ing Ngarsa Sung Tuladha: teachers strive to be good role models by demonstrating disciplined behavior and attention to students. Ing Madya Mangun Karsa: even though there are students who have difficulty understanding the material, teachers keep motivating and encouraging them. Tut Wuri Handayani: the role of teachers as supporters is very evident, where they encourage students to develop their potential.
