ABSTRACT

Currently, typical traditional houses in Batang-Batang Sumenep have undergone changes along with the development of technology both in terms of decorative design, layout, and home models. Therefore, problems now exist because certain traditional philosophical values are now being excluded. The method used in this research was a descriptive qualitative method. The results showed that there are five values of character education in traditional houses that can be used as alternatives to address social and cultural changes. Based on the findings of the five samples of Batang-Batang village houses, the shape of the Bangsal house and the findings of the related five main character values were observed, namely: religiousness, nationalism, independence, mutual cooperation, and integrity. These values were integrated into the curriculum. Character values in traditional houses are very useful for students as they strengthen their nation's character.
