A number of efforts have been devoted to explore the suitable content and method in developing students characters. One of the efforts to form students character in education through the religious and local wisdom values. It is based on Aceh cultural, there are some values existed in a society and one of those is namely AumaleeAy (Abidin at al, 1997: . Malee is used by the older generation to shape the moral character of the young generation, especially the children. Malee is somehow also considered as part of the religious values or faith, and is identical with common social values embraced by diverse Muslim societies in different places. The Aceh law No. 7, 2000, in Chapter VII Article 23 mandated that knowledge of the laws and customs of Aceh should be included in the curriculum of primary and secondary education to form a noble moral, dignified and cultured. The concept of malee identified through this research could be developed further to be inserted in the curriculum, and teach to the students accordingly, through both concept/ideals and This effort is supported by the Islamic local bylaws in Article 5, paragraph 9 . the implementation of Islamic Shariah also includes education, and Islamic mission . aAwah Islamiya. , it means that the practices of education in Aceh is integrated with the Islamic cultural Cultivating values to the students has been among the aspect that education should concern on, through either the transformation and internalization process (Usman, 2011: . , and the process of education itself is aimed at building character, which is closely related one to another (Huda, 2015: . Putting a high priority for a mere academic achievement, will impact on the inability of the students in developing their characters accordingly. As a consequent, several social misbehavior cases were reported to happen among the students. This misbehavior is commonly understood as AdeviantA from the . JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences Identification of Some Distinctive Values of Acehnese Malee (Shynes. for Character Education Abubakar et al. religious and cultural values embraced by the society. (Serambi Indonesia. December 4th 2016 and Serambi Indonesia. March 7th 2. North Aceh is recorded as the largest area/district with free sex cases in Aceh, and also around 70% of the students in area is prone to the taboo behavior, followed then by Banda Aceh Students in the second rank. (Kompas. March 4th 2. we put this within the above malee discourse, then people will claim who conducted those misbehaviors are those who has been Auputoh urat maleeAy . ose of the shyness feelin. Looking at the facts among the students, there has been a strong endorsement that education should not be separated from the It also should absorb the existing values among the society and the needs of the Good education is rooted from the society, the education would be problematic it destroy or even AchallengeA the existing norms or values of the society. As has been mentioned before, one of the distinctive of values among Aceh society, and actually has been almost forgotten is It is quite common in the society that people used malee in their daily reference to particular character or behavior. The term Auhana maleeAy is often heard in a conversation between parent and children, and within a family or a social group of Acehnese people. It means that the community considered this value as something significant to be introduced to the Therefore this research is focusing to look at what kind of malee values identified to exist in Acehnese society , and how it relate to the teaching of Islamic and the local wisdom, especially from the hadih maja. Method This research used qualitative approach. The sample of this research are 4 principals, 8 senior teachers, 1 the Chairman of Aceh Adat Council (MAA) and 8 students in MTsN in Banda Aceh. The primary data were obtained by in-depth interviews. the interview provides the possibility to investigate every detail with flexibility and to examine it by using probing when necessary. Data validity was assured by triangulation JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences . p-ISSN: 2338-8617 Vol. No. January 2019 e-ISSN: 2443-2067 To avoid data loss, tape recorder and logbook were used. Whereas, the secondary data were obtained through documentation studies from various sources related to the objectives of this study. The collected data were sharpened again with Focus Group Discussion. The data analysis was held on three stages: data reduction, data display, and data verification and conclusion (Sugiono, 2015: . CharacterAos Education: Religious Teaching and Local Influences The religious/Islamic education from time to time shows to have a strong emphasize on characterAs education. This started from the childhood, and go along the life of cycle of the people. One of the critical moments of this character education is for adolescence. Within the Islamic education reference, strong emphasized on noble character or moral education could be found easily. Beyond this, the society is also having a specific set of values that also signify their emphasis on morality on This local perspective of values can be observed or found from the traditional hadih maja, that is an oral wisdom perspectives transferred from generation to generation. Aceh as an area that place culture and moral behavior among the high values has a set of concepts of moralities derived from religion and Obviously malee is among standard of morality based on the teaching of Islam and the perspective taken from the religious teachings. The concept and the practice of malee could be used to influence studentsA characters and behavior in various educational institutions or school educational setting. The concept is not widely understood and applied among the younger generations or students, although the local bylaws have recommended the inclusion of local wisdom to the curriculum or education in general (Hadi 2017: . From published academic works, there have been some researches on the AcehnesesA characters or personality, such as those of (Hasjim, 1959. Harun, at al. 2009, and Hoesin, 1. Earlier scholars like Snouck . JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences Identification of Some Distinctive Values of Acehnese Malee (Shynes. for Character Education Abubakar et al. Hurgronje. James T. Siegel although noticed the strong association of the Acehnese society to Islam as religion and culture which referred as adat. The research that specially examined the particular value like malee has been rarely found, although some works of researching adolescent behavior (UNDP 2012. Abubakar and Anwar, 2010 and Abidin et al. , might have some relevance, but still it is not touching the religious and cultural aspects accordingly. As the result of the educational process that has not dealt with the societyAs cultural value, the deviated behaviours worrying the society, such as free sex and drugs and emerges (Ajad, 2. Nowadays, the taboo behaviour . has experienced a significant shifting value, particularly among teenagers in terms of free sex and drugs (Lewis and Ponzio 2016: state that 70% of Acehnese teenagers is considered to be prone to get involved in bad behaviors (Kompas. com, 2. In addition. Aceh is considered to have the most suicide cases, about 6 to 7 people monthly (Serambinews. com, 2. , and online prostitution also occurs among young generation in Aceh, (Surry: 2. Furthermore, the result from the survey about the deviated behaviours in Aceh proved that 2,46% of the second grade students in senior high schools have done free sex (Abubakar and Anwar 2010 : . The value of local wisdom as the identity for a nation or certain group should be applied in education (Djuned, 2011: . Since the specific identity shows the dignity of a nation or particular groups in society, the inheritance and integration of the values is considered important in all activities (Komalasari and Saripudin, 2018: . The inheritance of the values of local wisdom does not happen naturally, but it needs a special effort continuously, and need supports from many different The process should also be planned and programmed well, in order to make every young generation learn, understand and adapt the values into their behaviours. The cultural value of malee is Acehnese identity. As a result, if the value is disappeared, it will also affect the development of the values held by the society. In this regards, the values of malee should be JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences . p-ISSN: 2338-8617 Vol. No. January 2019 e-ISSN: 2443-2067 emphasized and possible introduced in school by integrating those to the material of character education. AcehAos Malee Values: Religious and Cultural Influences From all of the data collected, the research identified several malee values from the perspective of teachers, students, or schools in general, which is also combined with the data from the relevant experts. Those values, mostly derived from the Islamic teaching and local tradition or local wisdom. Below are some values emerged from the data analysis. Malee Hana shalat . hyness for do not prayin. Praying is the most important worship for Muslims after the syahadah. Shalat is one of the most emphasized rituals in Islam, that introduced by the parents or family in Aceh onesA childhood. Thos who are not praying shalat is considered as someone who ignored the religion as shalat in Islamic teaching is considered as the main pillars of religion itself. As a society that referred quite a lot to religious values and teaching, people in Aceh in general will normally feel embarrassed if they do not pray. There two critical times that people will not especially feel comfortable to go out during during praying they are JumAat . t noon time every Frida. and Magrib prayer time. During the JumAat prayer, most public offices are closed, and the street is also quiet, only few women who might be still in their activities as they are not obliged to do the JumAat prayer. There is also a strong value in the society that for very children going out from for either education or other social purposes, they should be at home before Magrib time. This is becoming a value that the society concern on, and is derived or inspired from religious values. Malee hana puasa . hyness for do not doing fasting in Ramadan Fasting has both religious and cultural values. People in Aceh do fasting every Ramadan month, and few of them also do some sunnah fasting . JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences Identification of Some Distinctive Values of Acehnese Malee (Shynes. for Character Education Abubakar et al. weekly such as on Monday and Thursday. Since their childhood, some families has already introduced fasting to their children, and will train them for being shamed if they are not fasting especially over the age of tens. This malee value was inspired from the Islamic teaching both from the Quranic verses . lBaqarah: . , and the sunnah. The sunnah is based on hadith of Abu Hurairah radi 'anhu, its mean AuEvery deeds of Adam descendant would be multiplied his reward, one good thing will be doubled to 10 kindness to 700 times. Allah ta'ala says: 'Except for fasting, then I will repay those who run it because he had left his lustful desires and food because of Me. Ay HR. Muslim (FuAad 2. For Acehnese society, fasting is one of the most awaited worship and quiet pleased ones. People in Aceh celebrated the coming of Ramadan with joyful. There is a special day prior to Ramadan, namely Auuro mak meugang or uro meugang". The happiness of uro meugang is derived from sunnah of Prophet Muhammad SAW, it mean AuWho ever glad to welcome the holy month of Ramadhan . asting mont. it is forbidden for his body to be touched by hellfireAy HR. Muslim. (FuAad 2. Malee hana puasa, appeared in their ability to control themselves, not to eat or drink in a public while others are fasting. Malee Mabok and Meurokok . hyness for getting drunk and smokin. Smoking, drug and drunk are forbidden to students in Aceh. Nevertheless, some students are also found smoke in the school, and few of them also used drugs. This is sometime as part of their adolescent development, showing AmasculinityA to their friends or social groups. From the interview, we found that smoking is the most common, compared to others of drug abuse, etc. However, there is a strong tendency among the student to not smoke in front of their teachers or parents. The school usually has a strong rule that prohibit students to smoke in the school, although some of the teachers are indeed smokers. Whereas for other like drugs, the tone is even stronger, because it is also considered being against the Islamic teaching. The Surah Al-Baqarah 168: JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences . p-ISSN: 2338-8617 Vol. No. January 2019 e-ISSN: 2443-2067 Auo mankind, eat lawful and good from what is contained in the earth, and do not follow steps of Satan. because Satan is the real enemy for you (Sura An-Nisa: . , means: "o ye who believe, do not eat each other neighbor's property by way of vanity, except by way of commerce that goes with love each other between you. And do not kill yourselves. Allah is Merciful to youAy. Drugs for Acehnese is called madat (Snouck Hurgronje 1906: . Offenders feel embarrassed and sometimes being alienated from society, therefore in general they society is quite careful about the food. One of Aceh local values as hadith maja or narit maja about this is Aubek ta Jak ho nyang troh, bek ta pajoh peu nyang hawaAy, . ean do not go anywhere and do not eat what we just lik. Malee Kriet dan Tamak . hyness for being stingy and greed. Stingy and greedy for Acehnese society is considered as among bad character. Siegel . in his work of The Rope of God also mentioned that a stingy person was not preferable in a community he observed for his research. Sometimes, stingy is also often connected to the greedy the common a value held by the society is that they do not like the stingy people that who do not want to help others. The society has a stereotype of a particular area referred to stingy, namely Pidie, through the phrase Aulagee pidieAy, . ike the Pidie peopl. it means that someone is stingy. Further study might be needed to explore why and when such the connection between Pidie and stingy character appeared. Besides, local people also has the analogy to describe a stingy character such as in theh hadihs maja : Aukriet juit panah, ureung kriet bagah keumah, means that the stingy is strong like a jackfruit tree or kriet juit padee, kriet juit padee oreung krit bagah mate. means a stingy person is like paddy . ot easily break even has a lot of see. With those social and cultural stereotypes, many people will not happy to be referred as stingy, and instead they will be shameful for being referred as stingy. JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences Identification of Some Distinctive Values of Acehnese Malee (Shynes. for Character Education Abubakar et al. Malee Meusulet . hyness for telling a li. Generally for the people, telling a lie is considered as dishonest or deceitful behavior. Honest is the most noble moral or values. Referring to the Islamic teaching, being honest is among the noble character attached to the prophet Muhammad. It is strongly emphasized in Islamic character education, and is the message in the Quran. AuO ye who believe, fear Allah and say the correct wordsAy. (Surah Al-Ahzab: . Based on the religious teaching, the honesty is known as AshShidqun. This concept of shidqun It can be classified into five types, namely: a. Honest in intention (Shidq Al-qalb. Honest in saying (Shidq Al-Hadit. Honest in deed (Shidq Al-'ama. Honest in agreement (Shidq Al-Wa'. Honest in reality (Shidq Al-Haa. As other malee value that has a strong reference in the Islamic teaching, this is also similar to honesty. The local people have a hadih maja that described that emphasize honestly a lot. teupat keu pangkai, akai keu laba . onest can be used as asset, while mind can be an advantag. PaleAh ureung tuha geuboh tungkat, paleh ureung malem geuboh ayat, paleh otoh geuboh seunipat, paleh ureung meukat geuboeh keurira. (It means: Bad old man throw his stick or prop, bad mufti throw verses of Al-Quran and Hadist, bad workers at work do not use measuring tools, bad traders do not use So nyang khianat, wo laknat ateuh droe, . t means who is treacherous or dishonest will be back to themselve. Teupat seulamat sulet, sulet meupalet, teupat juet keu ubat, sulet jeut keu peuyaket. t means: honest would save, lie would be bound, honest would be a medicine, lie would be a diseas. There is another strong expression of the society against the cheating and lying character as AuAkai meu kurok parekAy, . t mean, their mind is like a canal digge. , and something is dishonor to be attributed to. Malee peukaru ngon . hyness for disrupting frien. Disrupting friends is among the values that closely related to the social interaction of people including children both in a social setting like JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences . p-ISSN: 2338-8617 Vol. No. January 2019 e-ISSN: 2443-2067 a school. Each school has a regulation to ensure that everyone in the shool could learn or study comfortably, and the teachers could also do so in their activities. In a number of school setting, one of the disciplines emphasized is to respect others . and not disturb them. Within a school setting, this is considered as one of the studentsA disciplinary principles (Mette Sandoff and Gill Widell: . There is no specific reference to the Islamic teaching could placed here to support this value accordingly, nevertheless, there is a number of cultural principle that emphasize ones to respect others, and to do not put difficulties or problem to others. This is a reflection of an understating, and sensitivity showed towards others needs or situation. In local hadih maja, it is said as AuTajak ubee lot tapak taduek ubee lot punggongAy . t means: walk on as big as your steps and sit down as big as your botto. Malee Deundam . hyness for taking a reveng. Acehnese societies are consistent, fanatic, and ethnocentric on religious Besides, they are strongly maintained the marwah . of their family, group. According to Harun. Acehnese people have a reputation of preserving self-esteem of themselves and their family. Acehnese have a reactive character, militant, optimistic as well as loyal (Harun, 2009: . Acheness community is quite easily to accept new things such as information, tecnology and entertainments, eventhough Acehnese society do not have grudge character, despite they are militant in attitude. For example, when conflict occurred in Aceh was determined as DOM . ilitary operation distric. The case caused to happen more victims of The central military figures at that time were Prabowo and Susilo Yudoyono. Those figures were very hated by Aceh people. This hatred accured because they are assumed as persons who are most responsible for the case of military operation. Nevertheless, the general election result in Aceh showed that the Acehnese have already forgotten and forgiven the case. This is also embedded in the teaching of Islam, and the . JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences Identification of Some Distinctive Values of Acehnese Malee (Shynes. for Character Education Abubakar et al. encouragement found from their social groups. Therefore after MOU between the Indonesian Central Government and GAM. Acehness people do not hate again, and consolidated peacefully. Most Aceh people gave support to both figures (Suadi Zainal 2016: . Acehness self- sacrificing, loyal to sacrifice their wealth even bodies and soul. Malee kuto . hyness for dirt. Islam obliges people to be clean, and also to cleanse the non-material part of themselves ( bathiniy. such as clean in heart, mind, feeling, and clean in lahiriyah such as clean in body, clothes, food and environment. Cleanliness is preferable (Surah Al-Baqarah: . Many local values of hadih maja emphasize this matter that explains the importance of cleanliness. A local hadih maja as a recommendation to avoid dirty is Aubeek lagee kameeng landokAy it means Audo not resemble billy goatAy Aubeek lagee mei pajoh aneukAy it means do not resemble a cat which eats his child. AuBeek lagee itek wo lampayaAy it means: Audo not resemble a duck which just return from the swampAy (Herlina and Abubakar 2015: . Those examples aimed to denote people whose bodies are dirty. The people who were given the label of physically dirty would feel embarrassed. Malee keuguree . hyness in front of teachers, which also respect to the teacher. Teachers are the second parents for students. In Acehness culture, respecting teachers is to some extent AobligatoryA. Respecting teachers are materialized in various attitudes in various countries and subjects taught (Elaine Evanset al, 2014: . PeopleAs respect to teachers understood to be expressed in several attitudes. Among the responsibility of a teacher is to change knowledge . , attitude and skills . , this effort requires certain conditions including respect to teacher (Einar M. Skaalvik and Sidsel Skaalvik, 2013: . The following hadih maja is reflected the endorsement towards a respect to the teachers. ABak buet salah beutamale. Perintah guree bak get JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences . p-ISSN: 2338-8617 Vol. No. January 2019 e-ISSN: 2443-2067 tajaga. Meunyoe ka salah meu-Aah ta lakee, akhirat teuntee gata bahgia. means: when doing mistake they must be ashamed, teachersA orders must be done. If they make mistaken asking for an apologize soon. There is another hadih maja of taat keu ma ku takzem keuguree. Ureueng nyan ban lhee ta peumulia, meaning obeying to both mother and father, and teachers, those three figures should we glorify. Takzem keu guree meuteumee ijazah, taat keu nang mbah meuteumee hareuta. It means: if you obey to a teacher, you will get a diploma, if you obey to both mother and father, you will get heritage. Acehnese culture place a strong emphasize on respecting teacher and this could be also found in the lullaby, the song for little ones Allah hai do ku doda idi . here is no meanin. Beugot budi neuk watee raya. Keu jasa gure neuk ta-ingat. Nyang peuteupat hukom agama (Yusri Yusuf 2013: . means: Allah hai do kudoda idi, be moral nobel when you grow up, you have to remember to teachersA kindness, they have taught you the religious laws. Malee Meucewek . hyness for datin. Dating, or locally referred as meucewek is considered as something that is not permitted culturally, especially when dating means to be the permissive ones, that could lead to zina . The act of fornication is prohibited in the Islamic principles, and is mentioned clearly (Surah Al-Isra: In Acehnese society, the . dating is regarded as shameful. Dating can lose an honors and dignity, especially for the girls of Aceh, therefore having sex before marriage or having children outside the marital bound is considered a disgrace in the perspective of the Aceh Culturally, there is a term to name the illegitimate child, namely AubajeungAy or mumee aneuk hareum . t means conceiving bajeung child or an illegitimate chil. Sometimes, the social punishment for the parents who do not legally married quite hard such as being expelled until a certain time (Hoesin, 1970: . JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences Identification of Some Distinctive Values of Acehnese Malee (Shynes. for Character Education Abubakar et al. Obviously, all the attitude of malees in Acehnese culture is the embodiment of Islamic values, and also inspired by the existing cultural values embraced by the society. With those two ideals, the construction of malee would have more impacts on the students if those values could be programmed and integrated well to the existing concept of character Conclusion The Acehnese society has a strong jargon of adat ngeun hukom lagee zat ngeon sifeut . eligion and culture is in-separabl. This could also be indentified through the concept and practice of malee. Admittedly, the character of malee, could influence the studentsA or childrenAs behavior. The inspiration of some malee values from Islamic teaching and local cultural values is another credit that will make these distinctive values of malee has a strong impact on the personality of the Muslim and Acehnese people/students. Nevertheless, generally there are some obstacles of promoting these malee values among the students or within the school educational setting. The results of the research showed there are several malee values emerged and considered as necessary and relevant to be introduced to the school or educational system: those are: Malee hana shalat . hyness for not prayin. Malee puasa . hyness for not fastin. Malee mabok and smoke . hyness for drunk and smok. Malee Kriet . hyness for being sting. Malee meusulet . hyness for liyin. Malee Peukaru ngon . hyness for disrupting frien. Malee deundam . hyness for reverengin. Malee kuto . hyness for being dirt. Malee and takzim keu guree . especting teache. and Malee Meucewek . hyness for datin. The approach of promoting malee values could also replace the reward of punishment model that has been more popular within the school education. Also, malee is not just moral and faith for Moslem, but also the preserved cultural value in the society. Malee values have a strong foundation in character JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences . p-ISSN: 2338-8617 Vol. No. January 2019 e-ISSN: 2443-2067 building, because it pertains to their daily faith and worship.
