Abstract

General knowledge should not be the sole thing taught in higher education. Students’ comprehension of cultural values through an ecological approach will help them develop a viewpoint that considers the ecosystem and long-term sustainability in addition to perceiving natural resources as objects of exploitation. Online games with local cultural content are one type of learning media that may be used to teach cultural values. Working together with local and international online game developers can help people establish local wisdom values, which are supposed to be the foundation for their attitudes and ways of perceiving social reality. In order to help young people develop their creative thinking abilities and have an impact on sustainable development, this study will examine online games with local cultural material that can be utilised as a communication tool and to teach cultural values. The Dakon, Lokapala, and Minecraft Hardcore Borobudur series are three categories of online games that incorporate local culture. The research technique and method selected is a qualitative approach using a case study research method. According to the findings, each game incorporates several cultural values, like the importance of precision, solidarity, and honesty. Online games can also help younger people develop strong character traits, such as critical and creative thinking and cross-cultural cooperation. In conclusion, for digital platforms to become a medium for culture-based character learning, a solid partnership between families, schools, campuses, and communities is required.
