Internalization of Trisilas through Cooperative Learning Method for Developing Multiple Intelligence Children

Abstract

The influence of globalization has eroded local cultural civilization, which has led to the degradation of the character of its adherents. Students also need teachers who can overcome the problem of children's character development by reviving the local cultural philosophy they adhere to. Trisilas is a concept rooted in the local wisdom of the Sundanese people which is internalized in the process of life. The life philosophy of "silih asah, silih asih, silih asuh" is a teaching worthy of application in the learning process. The Trisilas concept, which is implemented through the cooperative learning method in the learning process, is used to stimulate children's multiple intelligences optimally. This research method uses Ethno pedagogy, which is qualitative research, to find out how the use of three Sundanese philosophical terms is implemented in the learning process at school. The data was analyzed in depth through interview data collection and observation as well as literature studies to explore how the Sundanese worldview is implemented in the learning process at school. The results obtained were that the cooperative learning-based implementation of Trisilas was used at Elementary School 1 Pawenang Purwakarta based on the Sundanese philosophy adopted by the teacher, which was then integrated based on the Purwakarta district education office program and implemented in real terms in the classroom learning process.
