Pembelajaran Menulis Aksara Jawa yang Partisipatoris Menggunakan Video Tutorial dengan Memraktikkan Tracing dan Menulis di Pasir

Abstract

Language learning activities are not effective if they do not contain elements of repeated practice. Therefore, a participatory language learning design is needed, so that students are able to improve their competence in communicating with the language being studied. This community service activity aims to provide training to parents and assistants of fourth grade elementary school children at home so that adults can participate in the process of learning to write Javanese characters. This learning uses teaching aids adapted from language learning by Montessori. The output of this activity is a video tutorial that shows the initial steps of learning to write Javanese characters by tracing and writing on the sand. In addition, this video also shows the details of the learning mentoring process from Montessori. This video can be accessed and practiced easily at home by the companion with the child, so that the child can be more enthusiastic and happier to learn to write Javanese characters. In addition to adding alternative learning activities, parents and companions can be more involved in the process of acquiring language in children. By doing fun activities, the number of children or students who like writing Javanese characters can also increase for the sake of the preservation process.
