  • Purpose of the study: This study aims to identify the social and cultural values embedded in the Saiyyang Pattu’du tradition and examine their potential relevance as a source of Social Studies learning at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah DDI Lombo’na.

    Methodology: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation concerning the Saiyyang Pattu’du tradition at MI DDI Lombo’na. The research focused on participants’ accounts and the social and cultural practices associated with the tradition. No statistical software or quantitative survey was reported in the study.

    Main Findings: The study identified four social values in the Saiyyang Pattu’du tradition: mutual cooperation (gotong royong), social relationships (silaturahmi), social sensitivity, and solidarity. Two cultural dimensions were also identified: gratitude and religious values. These values were reflected in cooperation among school personnel, parents, and community members, as well as the tradition’s association with the completion of Qur’anic recitation (mapatamma mangaji).

    Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides a context-specific account of social and cultural values in the Saiyyang Pattu’du tradition at MI DDI Lombo’na and relates these values to their potential use in Social Studies learning. Its contribution lies in identifying locally grounded learning content that connects social interaction, community participation, and cultural and religious meanings without claiming tested effects on student learning outcomes.
