Local wisdom as a value source for education: hereditary cultural values guiding mindset, action and behaviour

Design · All designs
Evidence · no claims cited

Description

The article's organizing framework treats local wisdom as a cultural product — philosophy, values, norms, ethics, rituals, beliefs, habits and customs — that can serve as both material and value source for schooling. It defines local wisdom as "material (traditional house, traditional cloting, craft arts, regional specialties, etc) and non material such as the value of philosophy that is believed to be the guideline to carry out life activities". Local wisdom functions to anticipate, filter and transform outside influences, and its values are "a hereditary value passed on to the next generation and serve as a guide in regulating the mindset, how to act and behave". Education drawing on it is expected to regenerate these values in students from an early age.
