Abstract:
Modernity is a necessity for society. Modernity covers all aspects of life and without exception,
education. There is a reciprocal relationship between modernity and education in which modernity is
characterized by a variety of education and on the other hand the development of education will
increase the modernization of a society. However, educational modernization is often incompatible
with modernization through comparable education. This is as Herbert Marcuse's critique of
modernity which is characterized by a technocratic society. Herbert Marcuse conceived of aesthetic
education as an alternative that could raise one's critical awareness. This study aims to explore and
study how aesthetic education able to gain the student's critical consciousness as the impact of
modernization in educational institution especially in High School. Aesthetic education through art
can be done with traditional dance work. There are two dimensions as Songkro dance that can be
used in learning in high school. The first is to bring up the moral values such as hard work and
loyalty. Furthermore, students are able to think critically about the two values that appeared in the
previous analysis by discussing the social context, space and time. |
