Abstract

In Indonesia, many education policies have been taken to address the development of Covid-19, one of which is learning from home program. In the elementary school level, the learning is focused in forming students’ character through literacy activities. One of the activities that can be done by parents is revitalizing the culture of telling Balinese story, well-known as Masatua. This study aimed at (1) describing the activity of revitalizing Masatua in learning at home; and (2) the effect of Masatua revitalization upon the students’ literacy in elementary school. The research was conducted by using mixed method with sequential strategy. This study was conducted in several elementary schools. The subjects were ten students and their parents in Bali. The data analysis was done by a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis. The data collection was conducted by using observation, interview, questionnaires, and documentary study. The research findings showed that (1) Masatua revitalization was conducted through (a) preparation, in which the parents prepared fairy tale of Siap Selem and I Belog; (b) telling story, in which the parents used direct reading strategy from fairy-tale book. (2) Masatua revitalization influenced the student’s literacy. Therefore, it is suggested that parents should make Masatua as a habit in accompanying the students to learn at home. For the government, it is suggested to provide fairy tale books to support the students’ literacy.
