Abstract

At the elementary school level, science learning still tends to focus on theory and has not integrated science concepts with local culture. In fact, local wisdom contains scientific values that can enrich learning. This study aims to analyze the implementation and effectiveness of integrating ethnoscience in science learning based on the Merdeka Curriculum and its impact on conceptual understanding and student character. The method used is a literature review of 16 relevant articles from the period 2021–2025. The results show that the integration of ethnoscience makes learning more contextual and meaningful. In addition, the integration of ethnoscience also strengthens the relationship between science, culture, and national character values. In conclusion, ethnoscience is in line with the Merdeka Curriculum because it strengthens scientific literacy, the Pancasila Student Profile character, and love for local culture. However, teacher training and collaborative support between schools, communities, and the government are still needed so that the implementation of ethnoscience can run optimally and sustainably.
