Abstract

Integrating Folklore in Modern Education: A Review of Interactive Materials and SDGs Alignment. Objectives: Integrating local culture through folklore is increasingly used to support next-generation learning competencies, here defined as learning performance, language/communication, cultural literacy, creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, ecoliteracy, and basic digital skills, while advancing SDG 4 (Quality Education), especially Target 4.7 on education for sustainable development and cultural diversity. Methods: The research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) across Scopus, WoS, SINTA, ERIC, and Index Copernicus, using predefined inclusion criteria and quality appraisal. Findings: Across 35 studies, folklore-embedded interactive materials most consistently aligned with gains in learning performance and language/communication, with frequent co-benefits in cultural literacy and critical thinking when tasks were scaffolded through inquiry, story-based reflection, and locally meaningful problems. Evidence clusters were concentrated in Indonesia, which we interpret as a contextual pattern examined in the full paper and possibly reflecting glocalization in educational research ecosystems and/or national research policy incentives rather than a universal dominance. Conclusion: Taken together, the reviewed evidence supports a cautious, convergent claim: folklore-based interactive materials are associated with improvements in core competencies linked to SDG 4.1 (effective learning outcomes) and SDG 4.7 (cultural diversity and sustainable values), particularly when paired with teacher scaffolding and authentic tasks. The review contributes a mechanism-oriented synthesis: a “Folklore-as-Context” pathway (cultural familiarity → relevance → engagement → higher-order thinking) that specifies how and under what classroom conditions folklore supports 21st-century competencies, extending prior work that treated “local wisdom” and “innovation” only at a general level. Keywords: folklore, interactive learning materials, learning skills, systematic literature review.

The aim of this study was to investigate the used of local culture as a learning resource in improving students’ writing skill on descriptive text. This study applied descriptive qualitative with the total subjects of research were 35 students. Written test and interview were used in collecting the data. The result of written test showed that the students’ average score on the post-test had increased compared to the average score on the pre-test. The result of written test was in line with the result of interview which showed a positive response to the use of local culture in learning descriptive texts. All respondents felt happy and interested in learning descriptive text based on local culture of Tangerang City, so they could get to know this culture more closely. Using cultural festivals as a learning resource not only improve their writing skill on descriptive text but also helps students develop an appreciation for local culture, increases their awareness of the region’s rich cultural heritage, and develops a sense of pride in their cultural identity. These findings demonstrate the importance of integrating more local cultural festivals into the learning curriculum to enrich students’ writing skills through strengthening connections with local culture and traditions.Keywords: Cisadane festival, Descriptive text, Learning resources, Writing skill.
