Cultural Transmission through Dance: Teaching Endeng-Endeng in SMPN 1 Rantau Selatan
Get PDFEndeng-endeng is a traditional Mandailing dance that encapsulates cultural diversity and local wisdom, serving as a medium through which traditional values are sustained amid modern societal shifts. This study investigates the embodiment of local wisdom in the instruction of Endeng-endeng dance among ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Rantau Selatan. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were gathered through observation, interviews, and document analysis. Local wisdom in the Mandailing community is reflected in social values, norms, and kinship systems, which are integrated into traditional expressions such as dance. These elements function as intangible cultural assets, reinforcing identity and guiding social behavior. The educational setting is positioned as a critical space for cultural transmission, enabling students to internalize and reproduce these values. Findings indicate that the Endeng-endeng dance is an effective pedagogical tool for instilling moral and social norms, including politeness, communal living, and life guidance. Its integration into formal education supports the preservation of Mandailing cultural heritage and enhances students’ understanding of indigenous knowledge systems. Thus, dance education serves not only as artistic instruction but also as a conduit for intergenerational knowledge transfer and the reinforcement of local identity

The Effectiveness of Digital Media in Teaching Orchestration: A Case Study of Sibelius
Get PDFOrchestration is one of the theoretical courses conducted in 4th semester at the Music Study Programme, Faculty of Language and Arts, Universitas Negeri Surabaya. However, in its implementation there are still obstacles and problems. The ability of one student to another in orchestrating songs is very different. The inequality is shown when students work on assignments to orchestrate songs given by lecturers during the midterm and final exams. The work on the task obtained significantly different results. The obstacles and problems that exist in the orchestration lecture process cause a great influence on the development of student abilities. This research tries to present a treatment through learning tools in the form of sibelius software. This research is intended to test the effectiveness of learning tools in the form of Sibelius software in orchestration courses. The research method used is a quantitative method with the type of quasi experiment. The experimental design used in this study was pretest-posttest control group design. The results of the paired sample t test in the experimental group and control group at posttest with a significance value in the Sig column of 0.011 and 0.005. The significance value shows <0.05, so it can be said that there is a difference in the pretest results of the skills and knowledge of orchestrating student songs between the experimental group and the control group. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in the skills and knowledge of orchestrating songs between students who are taught using a stave book and students who are taught using sibelius software in the Music Study Programme. Thus, the use of sibelius software in orchestration lectures is said to be effective. However, because this study used a quasi-experimental type, there are internal and external factors that affect the improvement of students\u27 skills and knowledge in orchestrating songs, such as individual student motivation and musical experience
Seblang Between Ritual and Tourism: Cultural Commodification in Banyuwangi (2002-2021)
Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the transformation of ritual values in the Seblang art of Olehsari in Banyuwangi from 2002 to 2021, as well as to describe the community\u27s responses to these changes. The focus of this research lies on the impact of cultural commodification resulting from local tourism promotion. The method used is historical research, which involves data collection through interviews with cultural leaders and analysis of related literature. The results indicate that the Seblang art has shifted from its sacred function as a village cleansing ritual to a commercial tourism object, marked by the incorporation of modern elements into the performances. Community responses are varied; some support the changes for boosting the local economy, while others caution against the potential loss of spiritual and traditional values. The conclusion of this research is that the commodification of Seblang has influenced the structure and essence of the ritual, posing challenges for preserving the original culture in Olehsari Village
Gender Aesthetics and Symbolic Tension in Syofyani’s Pasambahan Dance: Negotiating Honor, Hospitality, and Cultural Identity
Get PDFThis study critically examines the movement techniques and body postures in Syofyani’s Pasambahan Dance by exploring how the values of honor and hospitality are constructed, performed, and negotiated within the Minangkabau cultural context. Rather than assuming harmony between movement and cultural values as fixed, this study questions how gender construction and bodily symbolism in dance operate within a matrilineal society that paradoxically privileges masculine roles in public performance spaces. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and visual documentation at the Syofyani Dance Studio in Padang, West Sumatra. The researcher was present not only as an external observer but also as a limited participant in rehearsals and artistic discussions, in order to understand the meaning-making process through the body and movement.Findings show that male dancers\u27 movement techniques, derived from pencak silat, exhibit protective, dominant, and assertive traits, while female dancers express gentleness and deference through movements inspired by silat bunga. However, a critical reading reveals that this gender division does not necessarily reflect Minangkabau gender reality but rather represents a symbolic negotiation that evolves with changing social dynamics and modern aesthetic expectations. Furthermore, symbols such as the carano and betel leaves are not always received with a singular meaning. Younger dancers, especially those living in urban areas, interpret these symbols as formalities or even folklorization, rather than as expressions of spirituality. When the dance is performed at tourism events or modern receptions, its meaning shifts from a ritual of respect to a visual attraction. This study affirms that Pasambahan Dance is not merely an aesthetic medium but also a discursive arena where values, identities, and ideologies are negotiated. By combining dance analysis and performance ethnography, this research contributes to the discourse on cultural preservation, performative critique, and arts education that is both contextual and reflective
Ntak Awo Dance in the Social Life of the Kerinci Community
Get PDFThe Ntak Awo Dance is a traditional performing art originating from the Hamparan Rawang area, Sungai Penuh City, Jambi Province. Initially, this dance functioned as part of a traditional ritual, but over time it has undergone a transformation into an entertainment dance popularized by a local artist named Arwati. This article aims to describe the form, function, and cultural meaning of the Ntak Awo Dance as a representation of the identity of the Rawang community. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with an ethnographic approach through field observations, in-depth interviews, and literature studies. The results show that the Ntak Awo Dance is performed in various social events such as weddings, cultural festivals, community activities, and official state events. This dance is usually performed with energetic musical accompaniment, distinctive poetry or rhymes, and a "three-step" movement pattern that follows the rhythm of the music. The clothing used is polite everyday clothing, demonstrating the closeness between this art form and the daily lives of the community. In addition to being a medium of entertainment, the Ntak Awo Dance also functions as a means of preserving traditional values, a medium for cultural education, and a symbol of the collective identity of the Rawang community. Therefore, the Ntak Awo Dance not only needs to be preserved physically through performances, but also contextually through cultural education and strengthening local narratives in building regional cultural identity
Staging Bali: The Transformation of Cultural Performance Through Disneyfication and Spectacle
Get PDFThis study explores the transformation of Balinese and Indonesian cultural performances through the processes of Disneyfication and spectacle, focusing on three popular case studies: the Kecak dance at Uluwatu Temple, the Devdan Show in Nusa Dua, and the Varuna Show at Bali Safari. Through comparative analysis and the integration of audience reviews, this research examines how traditional rituals are increasingly repackaged as theatrical entertainment designed to appeal to global tourists. The findings reveal a progressive shift from sacred, community-centered expressions to visually driven, commercially oriented performances. While these adaptations enhance the accessibility and visibility of Indonesian culture, they also raise critical questions about authenticity, commodification, and the loss of spiritual depth. The study argues that cultural performances are not only shaped by tradition but are continually reimagined through the dynamics of tourism, technology, and global consumer expectations. This evolution invites reflection on the broader implications of cultural tourism in shaping how heritage is presented, perceived, and preserved in contemporary society
ADDIE-Based Design Research of Institutional Batik at Ma Chung University
Get PDFBatik has increasingly been adopted by higher education institutions as a medium of institutional identity; however, existing studies on institutional batik largely remain descriptive, emphasizing aesthetic outcomes rather than examining the systematic process through which institutional philosophical values are translated into visual form. This research addresses that gap by investigating the development of Ma Chung University’s batik motif through a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, positioned as a practice-based design research framework. The study aims not only to produce a batik motif, but to formulate a structured design process that articulates philosophical values and campus identity into visual elements such as motifs, composition, and color systems. Data were collected through literature review, institutional document analysis, in-depth interviews, observation, and user evaluation. Qualitative data were analyzed interpretatively to map philosophical values into visual symbols, while quantitative data were analyzed descriptively to assess design acceptance. The results demonstrate that the “Tugu Ma Chung Tirta Harmoni” batik motif functions as a visual system of institutional representation, rather than merely a decorative artifact. The study contributes academically by offering a replicable R&D-based model for institutional batik design, extending discussions in art and design research on visual identity, practice-based methodology, and culture-based design in higher education contexts.
Nitrogen Oxidation on A Plasma-Exposed Surface
No full textThe elementary processes during the fixation of nitrogen by plasma catalysis are studied in a low-pressure plasma experiment with N2 and O2 as source gases. The formation of surface groups on an iron oxide foil is monitored with infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy. Surface nitrates (NO3-) are formed when the substrate is exposed to a 1:1 N2:O2 plasma, as well as N2O(g), NO(g), NO2(g), and O3(g) in the gas phase. It is postulated that NO1,2(g) species created by the plasma, adsorb at the surface and create these nitrates. This constitutes an intermediate step for nitrogen oxidation by plasma catalysis
