Abstrak

The Basisombau oral tradition, which lives in the Kampar community, Riau, plays a strategic role in transmitting social values and shaping the character of the younger generation through traditional dialogue practices rich in symbolic expressions and proverbs. This study aims to analyze Basisombau as a character education system, identify its diverse social values, and examine its relevance from the perspective of ethnopedagogy and 21st-century education. Using a qualitative approach with a desk study design, this study analyzed literature and cultural documents through content analysis techniques. The results indicate that Basisombau functions as a community-based social education system that transmits respect, deliberation, and ethical communication between generations. According to Thomas Lickona, this tradition combines moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action. Ethnopedagogically, Basisombau constitutes a contextual indigenous curriculum. In conclusion, the integration of Basisombau values into formal and non-formal education systems is highly relevant to 21st-century competencies such as communication, collaboration, and critical thinking, and has strong potential to strengthen the cultural identity of the younger generation in the digital era
