It is based on the essentialism philosophy including the main function of preservation and transmission of human tradition’s basic element. This study is carried out using qualitative, interpretive, literature review methods on the Basiacuong tradition based on essentialism philosophy. The study result indicates that there are systematical phases in applying the Basiacuong tradition in essentialism that shows the values transmitted to the students. Every phase in the Basiacuong tradition contains the rules of terminology transmission in terms of Pitatah Pititih, which contains moral values. The cultural values in the Basicuong tradition will be a concept to direct young generations or the students either in being behaved or acted in society, which can determine which one the good or bad one is in the social environment where the students are. The values in this tradition, Basiacuong, can be internalized and applied the moral values in Social Science learning for students.
