Abstract

This article aims to analyze the values of character education in pottery crafts in East Masbagik Village, East Lombok Regency, in terms of their existence. The research we carried out is a qualitative approach with data collection methods such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The data was analyzed using Talcott Parsons' theory, namely Adaptation, Goal Attainment, Integration, and Latency,  and the Character Education theory by Thomas Lickona and Ki Hajar Dewantara. The results of the research show that craftsmen have implemented adaptation strategies in the form of being creative in producing new designs, being active in introducing their products, being tolerant and respectful of each other in integration, and being open and friendly to outsiders who want to contribute to maintaining the existence of pottery crafts in the village.
