Abstract:
This research aims to identify the local wisdom values of Sanghyang Siksakandang Karesian relevant to history learning. To achieve the stated objective, the investigation in- cluded using qualitative methods with a single case study, and data were collected using ob- servation, interviews, and document reviews. Furthermore, the obtained data was analyzed using an interactive model consisting of phases: data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion. The results showed that (1) the local wisdom values of Sanghyang Siksakandang Karesian included dasakerta, Dasaperbakti, people's behavior (hulun), and complementary actions. Dasakerta is a guideline for human sensory behavior in daily life. Dasaperbakti de- scribes the social hierarchy that requires legitimacy. While Panimbuh ning twah shows com- plementary rules in society, (2) History learning based on local wisdom values of Sanghyang Siksakandang Karesian is carried out through contextual learning by introducing and providing an understanding of Kagaluhan values to students to be applied in everyday life. This research can improve the understanding of local history and the character of students who are more rooted and culturally responsive, and strengthen the character of students. However, limited curriculum, learning resources, and teacher understanding are challenges. This study contributes to the literature gap by offering a local wisdom-based history learning model. The implication of this study emphasizes the importance of policy support to accom- modate local history in the high school education curriculum for character building.
