Abstract
This study aims to overcome the problem of limited teaching materials for Indonesian subjects in vocational high schools, especially about folklore. The method used in this research is research and development. The results obtained by folklore that developed in the Cirebon and Indramayu districts have moral values and are close to students' lives so that they are suitable for use as teaching material. The folklore analyzed has structure, linguistic elements, and moral values so that it can be used as a basis for the development of folklore teaching materials but by adjusting the use of language. The development of folklore teaching materials is adjusted to the achievement of basic competencies validated by experts and practitioners to get a classification as teaching materials that are suitable for use in vocational High School in the Cirebon and Indramayu regions. Based on the results of the learning trials it is known that these teaching materials can be used effectively in improving students' ability to produce literary works, especially short stories by using basic ideas from folklore. Teaching material developed is more interesting for students 'interest and enthusiasm, because the teaching material is in accordance with the students' cultural background. The students' responses to teaching materials were very enthusiastic when presented teaching materials that came from folklore from the Cirebon area, aroused curiosity, and learning activities took place dynamically and students did not feel fed up.
Highlights
At present the teaching materials of folklore texts presented in textbooks are only presented in the form of saga, whereas the types of folklore that develop in the archipelago vary greatly depending on the cultural development of a society
In the cognitive development of students, if the folklore that is the teaching material is related to the name of an area around the student's residence will be able to bring the understanding of high school students closer to the understanding of the structure and language aspects of folklore texts [1]
From the complete literary structure it can be found moral values contained therein. These moral values are still relevant to good values in today's life that can be emulated. These moral values can be used as character education for students through learning folklore materials developed from folk tales around the students' environment
Summary
At present the teaching materials of folklore texts presented in textbooks are only presented in the form of saga, whereas the types of folklore that develop in the archipelago vary greatly depending on the cultural development of a society. If the material is about folklore, only the type of saga is presented, so high school students from outside Sumatra are less familiar. In the cognitive development of students, if the folklore that is the teaching material is related to the name of an area around the student's residence will be able to bring the understanding of high school students closer to the understanding of the structure and language aspects of folklore texts [1]. The development of student creativity can be built through the development of attitudes by training students to implement the values of local wisdom of a folklore into the short stories they make [2]
