Integrating Local Wisdom Into Narrative Writing Instruction In Indonesian High Schools

Abstract This study aims to develop narrative writing materials based on the local wisdom of the Butonese community in Baubau City, Indonesia. Drawing upon the theoretical foundations of social constructivism, experiential learning, and culturally responsive pedagogy, the research integrates indigenous narratives, values, and symbols into classroom instruction. Employing the Four-D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), the study engaged educational experts, teachers, and students in the creation, validation, and implementation of the teaching module. Validation by three experts indicated a high degree of cultural authenticity (92.5%) and pedagogical quality, with an average rating of 88.75% categorized as “very valid.” Classroom trials in two high schools revealed strong student engagement, with over 91% responding positively to the materials in terms of relevance, structure, and motivation. Writing performance improved significantly, with an average post-test gain of +14.7 points, most notably in cultural relevance. These findings suggest that embedding local wisdom into narrative writing instruction not only enhances literacy outcomes but also affirms student identity and cultural pride. The study contributes to the growing discourse on localized curriculum design and offers a replicable model for integrating indigenous knowledge into formal education.
