An Overview of How STEM-LW (Local Wisdom) Research Influences Character Over Time: An In-Depth Review with Bibliometric Analysis

“…Local wisdom is used as a basis in the learning process and development of a learning product because it is close to the lives of students (Iriaji & Rochbeind, 2021;Krisantia, 2021;Haka et al, 2020;Abidin, 2019;Permana & Jayanta, 2019;Çevik, 2017;Khusniati et al, 2017;Ata Akturk et al, 2017;Kelley & Knowles, 2016;Becker, et al, 2011;). The research makes local wisdom the basis for developing the learning process.…”

“…Local wisdom should be used in the educational process, both formal and informal. The use of local wisdom in the learning process exerts a lot of influence on the individual in aspects of attitudes that are reflected in character, such as tolerance (Arliman, 2018;Junianti & Hariyanto, 2021), care for the environment (Speldewinde, 2022;Casto, 2022), scientific and social attitudes (Fortus et al, 2022;Iriaji & Rochbeind, 2021), and other character education (Abidin, 2019;Haryandi et al, 2021;Rokhman et al, 2014). Various skills are also trained by the use of local wisdom, namely critical thinking (Fadilah, 2022;Junianti & Hariyanto, 2021;Pageh & Permana, 2020;Puchumni et al, 2019;Suastra, 2017), Cooperation (Haka et al, 2020;Sümen & Çalisici, 2016), and troubleshooting (Permana & Jayanta, 2019;Rummel & Spada, 2005).…”
