WAYANG SAMBUNG LAKON SEMAR MBANGUN UMAT: KONSTRUKSI DAN TRANSMISI NILAI-NILAI PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DALAM BUDAYA LOKALNIM.: 20300011036LutfiantoauthorIslamic education takes place through formal educational institutions and cultural practices that thrive within society. Performing arts are one cultural medium with the potential to convey Islamic educational values contextually. Wayang Sambung, a performing art form that combines puppetry traditions with Islamic messages, demonstrates the dynamic relationship between local culture and Islamic education. This study aims to analyze the construction and transmission of Islamic educational values in the Wayang Sambung play Semar Mbangun Umat and to explain the local cultural mechanisms involved in this process. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were obtained through audiovisual documentation of the Wayang Sambung performance of the Semar Mbangun Umat play, non-participatory observation, and in-depth interviews with the puppeteer, the caretaker of the Ki Hajar Dewantara Islamic Boarding School as the organizer of the performance, and the students who watched the performance. Data were analyzed thematically and interpretively through a study of visual, musical, verbal, performative, and dramaturgical elements, as well as the informants' interpretations of the Islamic educational values represented in the performance. The results of the study indicate that the values of Islamic education in Wayang Sambung are constructed through a cultural representation system that integrates visual, musical, verbal, performative, and dramaturgical elements into a unified performance. This representation system builds meaning through symbols, narratives, dialogues, music, the actions of the characters, and dramatic structures that represent the values of faith, sharia, and morals. Once constructed, these values are transmitted through aesthetic, cognitive, emotional, and social experiences that enable the audience to understand, internalize, and reflect on the messages of Islamic education in the context of local culture. The research findings indicate that moral values are the dominant orientation that connects theological and normative dimensions with the practices of social life in society. This research found that the transmission of Islamic educational values in Wayang Sambung occurs through the mechanism of constructing cultural representations, allowing local culture to function as a medium for conveying religious messages and a pedagogical space that shapes the meaning and learning experiences of the community. These findings enrich the study of local culturebased Islamic education by demonstrating that traditional performing arts can serve as a mechanism for constructing and transmitting Islamic educational values in a contextual and sustainable manner.306.409 598 2 Budaya dan Kebudayaan - Jawa2026-08-27UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;PASCASARJANAThesis
