Keywords

Abstract

The present study aims to reveal the role of Javanese culture in literary learning based on two aspects: (1) the context of teacher and student interaction in the classroom and (2) the interaction patterns of teachers and students in Javanese cultural views. The study was carried out in class V of Surakarta Primary School from July to December 2015. The data source was the phenomenon of classroom literary learning. The data were taken from events, informants, and documents through some instruments namely observation, interviews, and document analysis. The data validity checking of the data was done thorugh extension of participation techniques, persistence of observation, triangulation, and checking key informants. The data were then analysed through domain, taxonomy, and themes analysis that are used simultaneously to find cultural symbols and relationships between cultural symbols. The results indicate that: (1) the context of teacher and student interaction in literary learning serves as triggering changes in the atmosphere of the classroom. Such changes in the atmosphere can affect the development of students' learning behavior, and (2) the interaction of teachers and students in the classroom relies on the cultural value system of the community which can serve as a guide for students' behavior in learning. Javanese culture is a means of feeling and inner attitude for teachers and students to achieve a life that is calm, peaceful, and full of happiness. Life is centered on character education rather than at the peak of achievement
