Embedding local potential and local wisdom into biology e-modules: Front and analysis
Abstract
Biology education should be contextualized to students’ surroundings by integrating local potential and local wisdom so that learning becomes more meaningful, relevant, and engaging. This study aimed to analyze the need to develop an e-module based on local potential and local wisdom for biology learning in schools in the Toraja region. A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed. Data were collected from two teachers and 35 students selected through purposive and simple random sampling, respectively. The research instruments included questionnaires, interview guides, and document analysis sheets. The analysis of the curriculum, learning process, and teaching materials showed that Toraja has considerable local potential and local wisdom that can be integrated into biology learning. However, the findings also indicated that the available teaching materials are still limited in both quantity and content and have not fully optimized these local values. These findings suggest that learning resources need to be developed more systematically so that they better reflect the students’ cultural context and daily experiences. Therefore, the development of an e-module integrating local potential and local wisdom is necessary to support contextual biology learning, enrich students’ learning experiences, and improve the relevance and effectiveness of instruction in the Toraja region for school-based biology.
