The approaches used involve (1) historical facts used to trace the thoughts of Ki Hadjar Dewantara in the historical environment and their various influences and (2) hermeneutics used to interpret symbols and search for their meanings. The results showed that an indigenous education model is needed to deal with a colonial education system. An egalitarian and participatory system is required, through leadership techniques and among systems with a community model. It also needs a national style and school financing according to the concept of paguron. For principals, this involves trusting subordinates, encouraging staff to come forward, appreciation for teachers who have shown good teaching performance.
