ANALISIS PENGGUNAAN BAHASA IBU “SASAK” DALAM MELESTARIKAN BUDAYA LOKAL DI SD NEGERI 2 KELAYU UTARA

Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of the mother tongue (Sasak) in preserving local

culture at SD Negeri 2 Kelayu Utara. This study uses a descriptive qualitative

method with the research subjects being the principal, a sample of teachers from

grades 1–6, and 5 samples of students from grades 4 and 5. Data collection

techniques used were observation, interviews, and documentation, while data

analysis used the Miles and Huberman model, namely collection, reduction,

presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the use

of the mother tongue (Sasak) is still relatively low because the majority of school

residents prefer to use Indonesian in daily communication. However, teachers and

students sometimes use Sasak spontaneously in certain interactions. One of the

supporting factors for the use of the mother tongue is a homogeneous social

environment, with the majority of school residents having the same language family,

namely the ngeno-ngene dialect. Meanwhile, one of the inhibiting factors includes

the habit of using Indonesian, the influence of digital media, and slang. One of the

school's efforts to preserve the mother tongue is through a Sasak language program

every Thursday before teaching and learning activities begin. This program fostered

students' interest in storytelling, storytelling, rhymes, speeches, and singing in the

Sasak language. However, the program is currently discontinued due to the school's

implementation of the 7 habits of great Indonesian children.
