INTEGRASI LITERASI BUDAYA LOKAL INDRAMAYU BARAT DALAM KURIKULUM PEMBELAJARAN INOVATIF BERBASIS E-MODUL UNTUK SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

The transformation of West Indramayu from an agricultural base to the Gantar integrated industrial area poses a significant challenge in preserving the cultural identity of the younger generation. This research aims to formulate a concept for developing a local cultural literacy E-Module as an innovative learning medium for elementary school students. The method employed is a literature study (library research) using content analysis techniques on various cultural documents, local content curricula, and regional development reports. The results indicate that integrating traditional values such as Ngarot, Tarling, and agrarian philosophy into an interactive digital format effectively bridges the gap between conventional teaching materials and the characteristics of digital-native students. This E-Module is designed by synergizing the local wisdom of Coastal Javanese and Sundanese cultures and linking them with the region's future economic projections. The discussion emphasizes that digital cultural literacy is not merely a means of preservation but an essential instrument for preparing a competitive workforce without losing their "Dermayon" identity. It is concluded that the implementation of this media is urgent to strengthen the cultural sovereignty of the indigenous community amidst the flow of investment and the development of a self-reliant new district. Through this publication, it is hoped that strategic collaboration between academics and local government will emerge to modernize the curriculum based on local potential.
