Beber Puppet Existence and Its Implementation in Character Education in SMK

Beber puppet is a type of Indonesian puppets which is shown not in the form of a shadow image but a picture show. Because what is shown is a series of drawings drawn on a rectangular paper or canvas, the paper or canvas can be rolled up and stretched. The series of drawings depict scenes from a play, and a play consists of several acts. Beber Puppet is one of the arts and cultures of Indonesia that is apt to be forgotten. Indonesian cultural and arts education is one of the appropriate subjects to reintroduce the arts and cultures of Indonesia which are likely to become extinct like Wayang Beber. Cultural arts subjects are closely related to character education. Character education aims to form and train individual abilities continuously for self-improvement towards a better life. Developmental efforts need to be made in Wayang Beber so that character education can be easily understood, and Wayang Beber is easily recognized by students. The development of Wayang Beber as a learning material in the subjects of Indonesian cultural arts will result in a product called Creative Wayang Beber.
