Abstract

This research emanates from the concern for the social problems in Indonesia whereby horizontal conflicts pervade today. Inquiry of the local wisdom that encapsulates peace-based values on the basis of ethnopedagogy is expected to be a feasible solution. This study explores the local wisdom contained in Sundanese idioms on which to propose peace-based education. It examines the values of peace contained in Sundanese idioms. This research employs a qualitative-descriptive method to explore the messages contained in the Sundanese idioms. The Data of Sundanese idioms were collected through bibliographic study techniques and elicitation. The Data were analyzed with hermeneutic and paremiological methods. The findings of this study reveal that the values of peace contained in the Sundanese idioms include harmonious, safety, and comfort. With regard to ideas of peace, the Sundanese society emphasizes the importance of tranquility and brotherhood, as reflected in the idioms silih asah (mutual learning), silih asih (mutual love), and silih asuh (mutual care). The findings suggest that peace and tranquility appear to be the core values of the Sundanese society to be realized especially though conflict management that is characterized with the concept caina hérang laukna beunang (satisfying all parties concerned).
