DEVELOPING LOCAL WISDOM BASED SCIENCE LEARNING DESIGN TO ESTABLISH POSITIVE CHARACTER IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

ABSTRACT: This study aims to design a science learning program based on the local wisdom and apply it in elementary school. Mixed method research was used to gain the significance improvement from the design. There were 35 elementary science teachers from 16 elementary schools chosen by using purposive random sampling. The previous research revealed that there were about 80% of the teachers who were recognized the local wisdoms in their environment, but none of them have a capability to use them as a part of their science program in the classroom. To overcome this constraint, a Review(R), Task(T), Solution(S), Reflection(R), and Evaluation(E) design was proposed in elementary school science learning. By implementing the design in two elementary schools, 11 positive characters expected were indicated from students’ performance. But characters of honest, discipline, conscientious, diligent, careful, responsibility, and caring environment, are most significant ones.
