Abstract

This study aims to analyze the existence of pencak silat in Physical Education in junior high schools and its role as a preventative measure against cultural decadence in the era of globalization. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a naturalistic design. Subjects included the principal, vice principal for student affairs, Physical Education teachers, pencak silat coaches, and students at SMP Negeri 11, Jambi City. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results indicate that pencak silat has a strong presence in learning as an intracurricular and extracurricular activity, regularly implemented with a high level of student participation. Pencak silat plays a role not only in developing physical abilities but also as a medium for character formation and internalizing cultural values, such as discipline, responsibility, self-control, manners, and respect. Furthermore, pencak silat contributes to strengthening students' cultural identity and serves as a preventative measure against symptoms of cultural decadence. Therefore, pencak silat is relevant as a local wisdom-based educational strategy in facing the challenges of globalization.
