Summary
Good practice elaboration
In this new school year, I was promoted to deputy principal for student affairs after previously being a homeroom teacher for four years at the foundation's elementary school education unit.. Apart from being a deputy principal, I was also asked to temporarily fill in the Social Sciences subject (IPS) until a social studies teacher is available. Teaching social studies subjects makes me read and explore more things related to issues that are relevant to the learning objectives to be achieved..
At the second meeting, the Learning Objectives explained the dynamics of social change and its impact on people's lives, I invited the young people in front of me to watch a film called Di Timur Matahari which tells the story of the lives of children in Papua and the culture and conflicts that usually occur there..
Before watching, I would like to say that while watching, please note down the unique things about the film and make a reflection on Instagram regarding the film that contains it: (1.) What do you feel after watching the film, (2) What to learn after watching the film, (3) What are your friends' thoughts after watching the film?, (4.) What culture is visible from the film??, (5) If only there was something my friends could do, What action will friends take??. We watched on Friday and gave the task deadline on Sunday, so that young people have time to design and improve their writing to be posted.
On Saturday, several mentions from accounts with typical Gen Z names milling around in the notification tab. I read some of their reviews. One of them said that he felt sad after watching the film because the film shows Papuan customary law which can be said to be cruel because if a customary law is violated and the customary fine cannot be replaced., could result in war between tribes. Apart from that, through the film, they were shown the reality in Papua where several districts still have no electricity and food prices are very expensive.
One young man wrote that what he could learn after watching the film was that we should not trust anyone too much , and we can't hurt each other. Men can't hurt women and vice versa, and we must respect the culture of other tribes because each tribe has its own culture.
In the third reflection question, a young man wrote that the children there still enjoyed playing in the village. Poverty is not an obstacle for their passion for learning, and keep living as is. Besides that, Some young people were surprised by the police who were there because they didn't care about what was happening. And there are also young people who realize that the culture there is very different from the culture in the area where they live.
The culture that is very visible and dominantly conveyed by young people is the culture during death ceremonies or called the Nasu Palek Tradition and the musical instrument called Pikon.
Final, if there was anything they could do, they mentioned that they would let you know that the conflict could be resolved peacefully rather than fighting. There are also those who write that learning from small things, forgive each other. After reading reflections from several young people I teach, I have several questions in my head that are currently still hanging around. Is the desire to help someone to become better, it's enough? What helpful actions do we take?, according to their needs?
After being given such activities, Some students are more open about telling things they have experienced outside of school and some say that “Teacher, My household assistant is non-Muslim, every Saturday or Sunday, I took them to church, Teacher”
Teaching culture in context can start from small things such as, understand physical differences or beliefs.
Hidup akan jadi lebih baik jika bersama-sama dalam kebaikan, each in worship.
