Abstract:
: This study aims to explore the effectiveness of implementing local wisdom-based social studies learning in instilling moral values in students. Local wisdom-based social studies learning is important in the context of character education, considering that moral values such as tolerance, cooperation, and honesty can be strengthened through local traditions and cultures in the community. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method at MTsN 1 Jember, which has a wealth of local wisdom as part of its social environment. Data were collected through observation, interviews with teachers and students, and document analysis such as syllabus and lesson plans. The results of the study indicate that the integration of local wisdom in social studies learning is effective in instilling moral values in students, through practical activities that connect theory with real experiences. The role of teachers in directing students to understand and apply these values is crucial. However, challenges in implementing local wisdom-based learning, such as lack of resources and time, need to be addressed with a more flexible and collaborative approach. This study concludes that local wisdom-based learning not only enriches students' social knowledge but also contributes to the formation of strong character and better morality.
