Abstract

In the Local Content Curriculum of Sundanese Language and Literature (Revised Edition 2017), novels should be taught in elementary, junior high, and high school/vocational schools. The problem is that teachers find it difficult to find novel reading materials that are suitable for children in elementary schools. Therefore, a study of children’s novel Guha Karang Legok Pari (GKLP) by Hidayat Susanto was conducted to determine whether the novel is appropriate to be employed as teaching material in elementary schools. With descriptive methods of qualitative-analysis, library studies techniques, and field studies, this research aims to find out the story structure and characters education values in Hidayat Susanto’s GKLP children’s novel. The results showed that (1) GKLP novel is suitable for novel learning in elementary school as the language is simple, the content is loaded with information about the cultural background of the lives of the children of a fishing village, (2) the story structure is complete, the story characters have exemplary characters by children, and (3) in general the novel represents character education values of the nation that corresponds to the purpose and outlook of life of Sundanese people i.e. hurip, waras, cageur, bageur, bener, pinter, ludeung. Then, the character education values of the nation are packaged in purbatisti-purbajati Sundanese concepts that include Gapura Pancawaluya, Trisilas, dan Catur Diri Insani.
