Ethnopedagogy and Local Wisdom of Cireundeu Village: Social Transformation Strategies in the Society 5.0

Abstract

This research aims to examine the role of ethnopedagogy in maintaining, developing, and transforming the local wisdom of Cireundeu Traditional Villages in the midst of the challenges of the Society 5.0 era. Cireundeu Village, which is famous for its food independence through the tradition of consuming cassava as a substitute for rice, realizes cultural practices that are rich in local wisdom, food security, and environmental sustainability. A qualitative approach was used in this study, utilizing case study methods involving observation, in-depth interviews, and literature reviews related to the topic. The results of the survey show that ethnopedagogy in Cireundeu Village not only functions as a means of cultural preservation but also as a local value-based educational strategy that is relevant to the principles of Society 5.0, namely the balance between technology, people, and the environment. The social transformation that has occurred shows the ability of society to adapt to modernity without sacrificing its cultural identity. Thus, the local wisdom of Cireundeu Village has the potential to become an ethnopedagogical learning model that can integrate traditional values with the challenges of the digital era, while strengthening the character of an independent, inclusive, and sustainable community.
