Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the construction of knowledge and strengthening of cultural identity is constructed through implementing the Keminangkabauan Local Content Program in Padang City Schools. This study is essential because the Keminangkabauan Local Content program is a policy established by the Padang City government to rebuild the knowledge of the young Minangkabau generation, especially students at school, about their cultural identity. Several schools have implemented this program in various activities, especially internalizing the Minangkabau community's values, traditions, and local wisdom. The implementation of this project in schools not only aims to shape students' character but also reintroduces the richness of Minangkabau culture, which has been lost in the minds of the current younger generation, especially school-age children belonging to Generation Z, who are more familiar with popular culture than their local culture, thereby strengthening their knowledge and awareness of their cultural identity. The method in this research is a qualitative approach, case study type. Data collection was carried out simultaneously through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and analysis of documentation data. Data analysis used the interactive analysis model from Miles and Huberman through the stages of data reduction, data verification, and conclusion. The study results indicate that the Keminangkabauan local content program impacts the formation of students' knowledge about cultural identities that have been lost in their memory, increasing pride in local culture and creating awareness to preserve local culture. The essential findings of this study also show that implementing the Keminangkabauan Local Content program impacts the formation of student characters based on the values of the local Minangkabau culture.
