Abstract

The development of local wisdom-based curriculum and learning is an important approach in basic education as it connects learning with students’ social and cultural contexts. This study aims to describe teachers’ understanding, implementation, responses and challenges in developing local wisdom-based curriculum and learning at MI Al-Manshur Darunnajah 3, Serang Regency, Banten Province. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data collected through interviews and document analysis involving teachers directly engaged in the learning process. The findings show that teachers have a good understanding of local wisdom and integrate it into learning through daily activities and the surrounding environment. The integrated values include religious values, traditional culture and arts, local environmental knowledge and community socio-economic practices. Students responded positively, showing enthusiasm and improved comprehension. However, further strengthening is needed, particularly in standardized teaching materials and more systematic learning methods
