Abstract

This research examines the difficulties faced by students at SD Inpres Manimeri II, Teluk Bintuni, in learning Indonesian poetry, by emphasizing the importance of the value of mutual cooperation in the learning process. Using literature study and fieldwork methods, this research identifies specific challenges that influence students’ understanding and appreciation of poetry. Literature studies show that existing literature often ignores local cultural and linguistic contexts, while fieldwork reveals that students have difficulty understanding and connecting poetry with their everyday cultural experiences. The results of classroom observations and interviews with teachers and students emphasize the role of mutual cooperation in overcoming this challenge. A collective approach between teachers, students, and the community has proven important in creating a supportive learning environment. Relevant teaching materials and more adaptive teaching strategies, which are produced through cooperation and collaboration, are key factors in improving student understanding. This research suggests the development of more contextual teaching materials and professional training for teachers, which is based on the spirit of mutual cooperation, as well as increasing educational support and resources that involve all relevant parties. These findings emphasize the importance of pedagogical strategies that are more holistic and sensitive to local needs, by integrating shared values ​​to increase the effectiveness of poetry learning. These conclusions make an important contribution to the educational literature by highlighting the need for a mutually grounded approach to teaching practice and advancing research in culturally and linguistically unique regions.
