Abstract
Kampung Naga is a traditional village located in Tasikmalaya Regency, West Java. The community believes that by adhering to ancestral principles and traditions, harmony can be achieved among humans, nature, and the Creator. To maintain this balance, the Kampung Naga community employs an educational and parenting system that not only nurtures children but also serves as a conduit for transmitting these values. Sarkowi exemplifies this system, aiming to ensure that children preserve and embody the identity of Kampung Naga. The purpose of this study is to determine the ethnopedagogical model implemented by parents in Kampung Naga. Using an ethnographic method, this research involved four parents of young children as participants. Preliminary results indicate that the steadfast commitment to tradition fosters a robust ethnopedagogical model. Various customary rules and prohibitions, taught from an early age, instill lasting habits that children carry into adulthood.
