INSTILLING ANTI-RADICALISM THROUGH THE PIIL PESENGGIRI APPROACH

Abstract

This scholarly investigation explores the implementation of the Piil Pesenggiri framework in cultivating anti-radicalism principles among students at Lampung University through obligatory general education courses. The qualitative case study methodology was employed, utilizing data collection techniques that encompassed interviews, observational studies, and document analysis. The findings indicated that the Piil Pesenggiri approach was effective in enhancing students' cognizance of the perils associated with radicalism and the significance of fostering tolerance. The obstacles encountered included students’ inadequate preliminary comprehension of Piil Pesenggiri and limitations imposed by the curriculum regarding time allocation. The incorporation of indigenous cultural values within higher education was demonstrated to enrich the learning experience and contribute to the mitigation of radicalism. Suggested measures comprise the professional development of lecturers, modifications to the curriculum, and augmented dissemination of Piil Pesenggiri principles. The outcomes are anticipated to provide valuable insights for other educational institutions in formulating analogous strategies.
