song, both active in the community and cultural practitioners in Sumenep Madura. This research

educational (political) construction of Madurese students in the discourse of Tegges Mamaca
Layang Candra Jagad. This research is (1) the construction of santri education in the Macapat

educational value of students, sources of santri education, and actors in the transformation of

education, and the relationship between leaders and society. First, the value of political
education that is constructed for santri includes the leader must have knowledge to govern the
country; suggestions for potential leaders; leader's behavior. Second, the relationship between

leader and the ability of the leader to communicate well with the community. Third, the
perpetrators of the transformation of santri education consist of fathers and mothers. This

future research and as a complementary material for similar research but with different
perspectives, especially in producing santri education (politics) as a discourse in tegges
mamaca. The messages of a king's political education to his students and his son, Raden
Candra Jagad, scattered into pearls of wisdom that could serve as role models for leaders and
the Madurese community. Raden Candra Jagad received education directly from his father and
mother as a knowledgeable king. Raden Jandra Jagad was also asked to look for a teacher
now by his father because without a teacher who can guide him directly, he will find it difficult to
find his identity, become a true leader, and learn authentic knowledge. Raden Candra Jagad
also has perseverance and mental toughness in seeking knowledge because he dares to
meditate in quiet places like Caves. The role of the interpreter of the meaning of macapat
(tokang tegges mamaca) on Candra Jagad's Layang is constructive in revealing the hidden
meaning in the kite.
