Abstract

This study aims to analyze the character education values in the Batu Bual folktale from Berau Regency based on Thomas Lickona's theory of character education. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with content analysis techniques. The primary data source is the book Cerita Rakyat Paser dan Berau (Folktales of Paser and Berau), while the research data consist of textual excerpts containing character education values. Data were collected through library research involving a comprehensive reading and examination of the folktale text. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman's interactive model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the Batu Bual folktale contains character education values, including honesty, responsibility, patriotism, healthy competition, harmony, and cooperation. These values are reflected through the characters' attitudes and actions, which embody the aspects of moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action. Accordingly, the Batu Bual folktale can be utilized as a local wisdom-based medium for character education for younger generations.
