Education and culture are related to each other and support each other in creating cultural identity in students. This research aims to analyze the cultural education of children of Indonesian workers in Sabah, Malaysia. The research method uses qualitative case studies. Five teachers, 25 students, two school principals, 25 parents, and one employee of the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Kinabalu were interviewed in depth to obtain valid data. Apart from that data collection was carried out by observing the cultural education of the workers’ children and conducting document studies. Data analysis was done using the Stake stage. The research results show that education is an effective way to transfer cultural values to students because, in education, the transfer of cultural values is carried out in a systematic, structured, and measurable way. Cultural education for the children of Indonesian workers in Sabah, Malaysia is carried out in families, schools, and the community. Families, schools, and communities must work together to transfer Indonesian cultural values. Cultural education can help create Indonesian culture in the people even though they were not born, did not grow and develop, did not live, and do not remain in Indonesia. Cultural education shapes the behavior of students who can socialize in their community and adapt to their environment to attain their survival. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Every community has local wisdom that becomes its cultural identity. This study analyzes "luwangan" as the local Javanese wisdom for managing household waste. Information, facts, and data are revealed to understand the concept of household waste management in Javanese society. The study uses a phenomenological approach. Javanese people, "sesepuh," and community leaders were chosen as research subjects, while the informants were cultural experts and Javanese language lecturers. Observational data, interviews, and documents were compared to determine the validity of the data. The data analysis technique used was the Colaizzi method. The results showed that "luwangan" is a form of local wisdom of the Javanese people for managing household waste. Garbage is disposed of in "luwangan" based on its type, namely organic and inorganic waste. Organic waste is left because over time it will decompose with the soil and fertilize it, while inorganic waste is burned because it cannot decompose naturally. This is pro-environmental behavior. However, nowadays, with the increase in globalization and the lack of land in the region, the waste is taken by the garbage officers and disposed of at the final waste collection point. There has been a shift in the meaning of "luwangan" which affects the behavior of throwing waste in Javanese society. Socialization and enculturation are needed to preserve the pro-environmental behavior using "luwangan" as a medium for managing household waste in Javanese society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
