The concept of kindness through the saka halo myth: An application of kahoot as education medium

Abstract

A myth is a story that describes an extraordinary event that has happened in the local community. Every unusual event is communicated orally to strengthen customs and beliefs among the local community. However, stories in the form of myths are less highlighted because the average society today considers them as something illogical and less relevant to maintain. Therefore, this study was carried out to identify and analyze the concept of kindness through the Saka Halo myth using the Kahoot application. This study focuses on a mythical story titled Saka Halo to examine the concept of kindness. This study uses a qualitative design which is based on library, field and questionnaire methods. In addition, this study took a total of 46 students from local universities as respondents. This study uses the Kahoot application as an effective educational medium. As a result, this study found that mythical stories educate benevolent attitudes among students, which emphasize compassion, consideration, generosity and understanding each other.
