Abstract

The constellation of citizenship enters the round of irony in which the character of the young society appears simultaneously between the high quality of a lofty cultural image and the anger that comes together and explode quite often. This illustrated as a negative excess of the ambiguity of educational practice towards the virtue of morality. In general, the conventional education pattern is not able to answer the desire of the community for the value of virtue and value of usefulness. The unification of elements of local wisdom through the art of Cirebon mask dance in the realm of Civic Education is aimed at bridging the gap between the character's ideals and the phenomenon of moral degradation. The research method used is descriptive analysis with observation, interview, and study documentation. The results showed that: (1) Civic Education based on local wisdom which is reflected from the testament of Sunan Gunung Jati that is: “Ingsun Titip Tajug Lan Fakir Miskin” or “I entrusted Musholla (Place where Muslims worship) and Poor people” with the meaning of learning moral values that are on the vertical and horizontal lines in the sense of human relationships with God and human relationships with others, and (2) The Characterization in Cirebon Mask Dance consists of Topeng Panji, Topeng Samba, Topeng Rumyang, Topeng Tumenggung, and Topeng Kelana. Which each of them represent hierarchy of human nature and can be a material of moral learning and perfect views of life in life.
