Puntos clave

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the TANJAK Learning Model in enhancing cultural literacy related to Malay arts and culture among preservice teachers.
Quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design conducted at Universitas Riau.
Implementation of the TANJAK model in two sessions focusing on Malay music and dance appreciation.
Data analysis through descriptive statistics and paired-sample t-tests on pretest/posttest scores.
In the Malay music session, mean scores increased from 87.21 to 96.05 (t = −6.27, p < .05).
In the Malay dance session, mean scores increased from 88.83 to 95.64 (t = −4.61, p < .05).
Reflections showed a positive learning experience overall (M = 4.78/5), though responses on action and communication stages were more varied (M = 3.54/5).

Background Cultural literacy in higher education is often treated as a broad multicultural aspiration, yet students also need structured opportunities to interpret the local arts, symbols, and social values that shape their own communities. This study examined whether the TANJAK Learning Model could strengthen preservice elementary teachers’ cultural literacy in Malay arts and culture.

The model was implemented in two course meetings covering Malay music appreciation and Malay dance appreciation. Students completed LMS-based pretests and posttests, and they responded to a reflection questionnaire after the learning cycle. Descriptive statistics and paired-sample t-tests were used to analyse the quantitative data. Results In the Malay music session, the mean score increased from 87.21 to 96.05, with a significant paired-sample difference (t = −6.27, p
