INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 9, ISSUE 01, JANUARY 2020 ISSN 2277-8616 110 IJSTR©2020 www.ijstr.org Barongan As Media For The Conservation Of Ethical Value In Education Riris Setyo Sundari, Tjetjep Rohendi Rohidi, Suminto A. Sayuti, Hartono Abstract: Art has entered the education area and has its own function for the education. Art education aims to provide students with experience and knowledge of art. Art as one of the cultural products that was born from the community, of course, contains the values held by the community, one of which is ethical values. In the world of Education, through the experience gained in Education, it is expected that the ethical values in the barongan show can be transferred to the younger generation so that value conservation can occur. The purpose of this study was to determine the value conservation process in education through Barongan. The results showed that the process of value conservation occurred at the stages of appreciation and expression in art education. Ethical values that appear in barongan performances are divided into two, namely positive ethics and negative ethics. Art education provides knowledge for students to be able to take positive ethics as an example in everyday life, and know the negative ethics that must be avoided in life. The positive ethics that appears in barongan art is the character of barongan characters who are willing to sacrifice to help others. Positive ethical values also appear in the performance process such as politeness and mutual cooperation. The negative ethics that appears in the barongan show is the character likes to disturb other people who emerge from the animal characters as a symbol of the bathara kala. In art education, students are given the knowledge and reinforcement that this negative ethic needs to be avoided in life. ——————————  —————————— 1. INTRODUCTION Art has entered education area and has its own function for the world of education. Art education aims to: (1) gain experience of art in the form of experience of appreciation of art and experience of artistic expression, (2) gain knowledge of art, for example art theory, art history, art criticism, etc. [1]. The experience of art gained by students, both experiences of appreciation and expression of art, is very much needed for students. Through appreciation experiences, students can get the opportunity to add reference art for themselves, add aesthetic sensitivity, and can also help students to get to know the arts that are around them. The experience of artistic expression gained by students through art education can be a medium for students to express their ideas, ideas and feelings through a variety of media. It can also help to develop students' right and left brains. Barongan Arts is one of the arts owned by the community, especially the coast of Java. Barongan Arts is part of the lifestyle and beliefs of the coastal communities of Java. Barongan art survives side by side with the daily life of its owner as entertainment and ritual. Soedarsono said that broadly speaking, ritual performing arts have distinctive characteristics, namely: (1) needed selected exhibition venues, (2) necessary selection of days and times; (3) the selected player is needed; (4) a set of offerings is needed; (5) goals are more important than aesthetically pleasing; (6) typical clothing is needed [2]. Barongan art is a traditional art whose existence is often juxtaposed with ritual ceremonies and sacredness. Barongan is a totem animal that lives and develops in society. Barongan is lion-mask performance art.[3] Barongan Arts is one form of traditional performing arts that still survives. Hausser said that art, including also performing arts, was divided into four strata, namely the art of the cultural elite (classical art) folk art (popular arts), pop art (urban art), and mass art (entertainment industry) . [4] Barongan Art as a form of traditional art that lives side by side with society, has ethical values contained in the performance process. Javanese ethics according to Magnis- Suseno is the overall norms and judgments used by Javanese people to find out how Javanese should live their lives [5]. Endraswara also stated that ethics is part of the philosophy of axiology. Life must coexist with others, so that life fulfills its function, then it is framed with ethics. The ethics in question encompasses everything from Javanese people as members of their families, communities, and countries. Ethics in Javanese culture can be said to be truly governing people's lives. Various kinds of rules appear in the procedures of Javanese society [6]. Fig. 1.
