Implementation of Society Action Research in Community-Based Education to Strengthen Social Values

Abstract

This research aims to describe the concept, implementation and impact of Society Action Research (SAR) in community-based education as an effort to strengthen social values. The method used is a literature study by analyzing various scientific sources such as journals, books, research reports and documents related to community empowerment and participatory education. The research results show that SAR is a participatory research approach that integrates research processes, learning and social action through collaboration between researchers and the community. SAR implementation involves cyclical stages starting from problem identification, planning, data collection and analysis, action, to reflection to produce sustainable social transformation. In the context of community-based education, SAR encourages the active role of teachers as facilitators, students as agents of change, communities as social resources, and social institutions as supporting partners. The application of SAR has proven effective in strengthening social values such as mutual cooperation, solidarity, inclusiveness, independence and critical awareness of society. Thus, SAR makes an important contribution in building communities that are empowered, adaptive, and able to face social challenges through collaborative and transformative education.
