Reflection of Leadership Learning in Classic Stories as the Innovation of Literary Education

摘要

This paper aims to explain the reflection of leadership learning in the Minangkabau (Indonesia) classic story in which leadership learning is described as having made a good leader called "penghulu". The phenomenon of leadership learning in classical stories is an interesting phenomenon to discuss because the topic of leadership is still actual until today. In my research in 2013 about the cultural wisdom in the Minangkabau classic, with qualitative methods, and data derived from the text of the story, I have found several stories that talk about leadership learning. Among the classic story titles are the stories "Kaba Rancak Dilabuah", "Kaba Sutan Lanjungan", "Kaba Cindua Mato", "Kaba Magek Manandin" and "Kaba Sabai nan Aluih". Reflections on leadership learning are described in the form of descriptions and dialogue between children and parents, and about how a leader behaves in his community. In addition, they also describe the kind of good leader and evil leader. Based on the research findings, this paper will discuss the theoretical concept of leadership which is then associated with the implementation of leadership learning in classical stories, leadership learning materials, and the types of leaders that are reflected in the story. This paper also aims to explain the importance of the message of leadership in the classic story as an innovation of language and literary education so that literary education can be used as an education based on cultural values of the nation.
