Abstract

This study aims to examine the utilization of North Sumatra local culture as a learning resource in learning biology based on 21st century competencies and skills. The research method used was descriptive qualitative with a case study approach, involving observation, interviews with teachers and traditional leaders, and document analysis. The results revealed that local cultural elements such as ethnobotany, traditional agricultural systems, and environmental management wisdom can be effectively integrated into biology materials to improve students' concept understanding, learning motivation, and critical thinking skills. The implementation of local culture-based learning also encourages students' active involvement as well as the preservation of social and ecological values. However, the main challenge lies in the limited competence of teachers and the availability of adequate learning resources. This study recommends the development of local culture-based teaching modules and teacher training to support the sustainability of contextualized and sustainable biology learning. The findings provide an important contribution to the development of learning strategies that integrate local wisdom and 21st century competencies

Abstract

The issue of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning based on the yellow book at MTs. Alwashliyah Ismailiyah Medan is influenced by students who are not madrasa graduates, causing difficulties and unfamiliarity in understanding the yellow book. Additionally, students' lack of interest in studying the yellow book also impacts the success of the learning process. This study aims to examine the role of teachers in addressing these challenges so that the learning process can run effectively. The research uses a qualitative method with a location at MTs. Alwashliyah Ismailiyah Medan. Primary data sources include three Islamic Religious Education teachers based on the yellow book and the head of the curriculum department, while secondary data is gathered from the principal and students. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results show that teachers play a significant role in overcoming these issues through various approaches, such as building cooperation with homeroom teachers and other teachers to integrate other subjects with the yellow book. This helps students who do not have a madrasa background to understand and identify Arabic sentences, while also enhancing the abilities of students with a madrasa background in understanding the concepts of Islamic education using the yellow book as teaching material.
