Background: Traditional Jamjaneng art is increasingly marginalized amid globalization, reducing young people’s engagement with local cultural heritage. Educational practices often separate culture from science, causing learning to feel abstract and disconnected from daily life. An ethnoscience approach offers a humanistic pathway to preserve Jamjaneng while contextualizing natural science concepts through culturally meaningful experiences.
Aims: This community service activity aimed to revitalize Jamjaneng art by integrating ethnoscience into educational and cultural practices, fostering cultural awareness, scientific literacy, and intergenerational engagement among the younger generation, educators, and local art practitioners.
Methods: The program employed a participatory ethnoscience-based approach consisting of identification, analysis, training, mentoring, and evaluation stages. Activities involved art practitioners, teachers, students, and community members through interviews, contextual science mapping, workshops, reflective mentoring, and participatory evaluation forums to ensure meaningful integration of Jamjaneng art and scientific learning.
Result: The results showed increased enthusiasm and participation among youths and artists, improved understanding of ethnoscience concepts, and stronger appreciation of Jamjaneng as a learning medium. Pre- and post-assessments indicated notable gains in scientific comprehension, while qualitative reflections revealed strengthened cultural identity and community commitment.
Conclusion: This activity demonstrates that ethnoscience effectively bridges culture and science, enabling sustainable Jamjaneng preservation and contextual education. The approach holds strong potential for replication, curriculum integration, and policy support, encouraging future initiatives to expand cultural-based science learning across diverse communities. Long-term collaboration between universities, cultural institutions, and communities is recommended to strengthen continuity, documentation, and broader educational impact for future generations and regions.
