Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of ethnopedagogy and local wisdom in transformative education to develop ecological awareness and strengthen the social resilience of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah students in East Lombok. The ethnopedagogical approach was used to integrate local cultural values and community social practices into environmental learning so that students could understand ecological issues in a contextual and meaningful way. This study employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach involving students, teachers, and community members through project-based learning focused on plastic waste management as a local environmental issue. The research process included the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, and then analyzed using a mixed methods approach. The results of the study indicate that the integration of local wisdom into transformative education was able to improve students^ environmental knowledge, attitudes, and pro-environmental behavior while simultaneously strengthening the values of responsibility, cooperation, and social awareness within the school community. This study contributes to the development of a contextual and sustainable ethnopedagogy-based environmental education model at the primary school level.
