Abstract
This study aims to describe the process of applying local cultural moral values
(LCMV) that have not been prioritized by the Indonesian Ministry of Education,
as the values of the primary character standards in schools. Besides, this study
also describes the principal's transformational leadership behavior (TLB), based
on the local culture teaching dimension approach. This research used a
qualitative approach, case study design. The data collection was carried out
through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies
to achieve the research objectives. Data analysis used a modified analytic
analysis method. Meanwhile, the data validity was used to reveal the credibility,
transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The results of the study
demonstrate that LCMV supports strengthening the character of students, and
the application of TLB based on the local culture teaching dimension approach is
severely useful in optimizing the implementation of character education
strengthening programs (CESP). This research was conducted in 2018 – 2019, at
the State Junior High School 1, Private Catholic Junior High School, and Private
Islamic Junior High School in the West Flores region, Indonesia. The contribution
of this research is to position the moral values of the "Lonto Leok" culture of the
Manggarai community as local cultural assets that support the formation of
student character. Also, the dimensions of teaching lonto leok culture affect
effectively supporting the principal's transformational leadership behavior, so
that the program to strengthen character education is optimally implemented
