Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis peran buku penunjang cerita rakyat berbasis kearifan lokal dalam pengalaman membaca dan indikasi minat baca murid sekolah dasar. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Subjek penelitian terdiri atas guru dan murid sekolah dasar di Kabupaten Kutai Timur, Kalimantan Timur, yang berinteraksi dengan buku penunjang cerita rakyat berbasis kearifan lokal. Data dikumpulkan melaluiobservasi, wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data dilakukan secara interaktif melalui kondensasi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan dan verifikasi kesimpulan. Keabsahan data dilakukan melalui triangulasi sumber dan teknik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan buku penunjang menghadirkan pengalaman membaca yang ditandai oleh enam indikator minat baca, yaitu ketertarikan terhadap bahan bacaan, rasa senang membaca, perhatian terhadap isi cerita, kemauan membaca secara sukarela, pemanfaatan waktu untuk membaca, dan keinginan membaca kembali. Muatan kearifan lokal Kabupaten Kutai Timur, termasuk konteks tradisi Pelas Laut Desa Sekerat, memberikan konteks budaya yang dapat dikenali dan dihubungkan oleh sebagian murid dengan lingkungan sosial dan pengalaman mereka. Buku penunjang berfungsi sebagai bahan bacaan pelengkap yang memberikan kesempatan kepada murid untuk berinteraksi dengan cerita yang menarik dan kontekstual. Temuan penelitian tidak dimaknai sebagai bukti hubungan sebab-akibat atau peningkatan minat baca secara kuantitatif, tetapi sebagai gambaran mengenai respons dan pengalaman membaca murid ketika menggunakan bahan bacaan berbasis kearifan lokal.

This study aims to describe and analyze the role of folk tale supplementary books based on local wisdom in the reading experiences and indicators of reading interest among elementary school students. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of elementary school teachers and students in East Kutai Regency, East Kalimantan, who interacted with supplementary books on folk tales based on local wisdom. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted interactively through data condensation, data presentation, and the drawing and verification of conclusions. Data validity was ensured through triangulation of sources and techniques. The results indicate that the use of these supplementary books fosters a reading experience characterized by six indicators of reading interest: interest in the reading material, enjoyment of reading, attention to the story’s content, willingness to read voluntarily, allocation of time for reading, and the desire to reread. The inclusion of local wisdom from East Kutai Regency including the context of the Pelas Laut tradition in Sekerat Village provides a cultural context that some students can recognize and relate to their social environment and personal experiences. Supplementary books serve as complementary reading materials that provide students with the opportunity to engage with interesting and contextually relevant stories. The research findings should not be interpreted as evidence of a cause-and-effect relationship or a quantitative increase in reading interest, but rather as an illustration of students’ responses and reading experiences when using reading materials based on local wisdom.
