PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER MELALUI PROSESI PERKAWINAN HINDU

Abstract

This study aims to describe the pattern of character education that can be internalized from Hindu marriage ceremonies. This is also based on the idea that educational interaction has the function of helping the development of all potential, skills and characteristics of students, both in terms of intellectual, social, affective, and psychomotor aspects. Religious education will grow and increase sraddha and bhakti to Brahman through giving, cultivating, understanding and experiencing teachings. In addition to education, both formal, informal and non-formal, character education can also be explored through a wedding procession (pawiwahan). This research uses an qualitative approach with data collection through observation, interviews and documentation studies. The data obtained is then analyzed through a series of data reduction processes, data display and conclusions. The results of the study indicate that through the pawiwahan procession, or called dharmika, it is hoped that Hindus who go through the pawiwahan process are able to realize the noble ideals of Moksartham Jagadhita ya ca iti dharma. In Hindu education, strive for the birth of people who are Pradnyan and Purusottama. Pradnyan is interpreted as a condition of Hindu humans who should have competencies that are in accordance with the field of knowledge they are engaged in (according to swadharma). The value of education in Hindu pawiwahan also cannot be separated from the three basic frameworks of Hinduism, namely Tattwa, Susila and Upacara. The value of character education is explored through the philosophy of the various means used in pawiwahan, each of which has a very deep meaning, and this is believed to provide provisions for the formation of brides who have sadhu Gunawan characteristics.
