Oral Literature as a Vehicle for Character Education in the Era of Cyber Society 5.0

Abstract

The era of cyber society 5.0 has an influence in various fields. The era of cyber society 5.0 also influences the development of literature in education. In literature based on writing, the era of digitalization does not have a significant impact on its development. Character education is a deliberate effort to help students understand, pay attention to and apply ethical values ​​or morals in everyday life and become better people. The researcher used a qualitative method with a phenomenological type. This study aims to determine 1) the form of oral literature as a medium for character education in the era of cyber society 5.0 and 2) oral literature as a vehicle for character education in the digital era. The researcher used the phenomenological paradigm of social construction with data collection techniques of participant observation, field notes, and documentation studies. While data analysis uses the Miles Huberman model, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions from the data found. Oral literature is expected to be a medium for character education. The values ​​and messages contained in oral literature become a reference in learning ethics and morals. Protection of oral literature in the digital era is something that needs to be done to prevent the loss of oral literature.
