Abstract

Objectives: This study examines the impact of the internalisation of Dalihan Na Tolu values on the moral character building of the Angkola Batak community.

Methods: The study’s respondents are 50 Angkola Batak people. A qualitative approach was used to explore the impact of internalising the values of Dalihan Na Tolu’s local wisdom on the moral character building of the Angkola Batak community.

Results: The results of this study show that the internalisation of Dalihan Na Tolu’s local wisdom values towards the moral character of the Angkola Batak community is still functioning well. Values such as respect, family affection, and vigilance in maintaining sibling relationships play a role in developing strong moral character. The concept of moral character that includes respect for others, justice, honesty, and care is an essential basis for forming good character. Internalising moral character values based on local wisdom improve moral character, especially in young men and women. However, the analysis showed that moral acts have high categories, low moral knowledge, and medium moral feelings, which do not align with theories that emphasise moral knowledge and feelings. Therefore, efforts to internalise the moral character values of Dalihan Na Tolu need to be carried out holistically through the cooperation of family, community, school, and government.

Conclusions: This research fills the research gap by explaining that the implementation of Dalihan Na Tolu values in the Angkola Batak community involves various institutions and strategies, ranging from families, schools, and government to indigenous peoples.
