Abstract

This study examines the incorporation of local wisdom into pedagogical approaches in junior high schools in Bali, emphasizing how educators integrate Balinese cultural values and practices into classroom instruction. This research examines the utilization of local wisdom, the teaching methods employed, and the problems faced in various educational environments through culturally responsive pedagogy. A qualitative case study methodology encompassed classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with educators and administrators, and an analysis of instructional documents. Research indicates that Balinese philosophies, such Tri Hita Karana and Tat Twam Asi, and other local wisdom together with community-oriented practices, are amalgamated through storytelling, project-based learning, reflective writing, and experiential instruction. These methodologies promote student involvement, cultural consciousness, and moral advancement. Nonetheless, obstacles hinder its implementation, such as time limitations, the absence of culturally pertinent teaching materials, insufficient professional development, and demands from the conventional curriculum. The study underscores differences in integration methods based on regional and institutional contexts prioritizing reflective and discussion-oriented approaches. The findings confirm that teaching grounded on local wisdom increases the significance and effectiveness of education, while simultaneously acting as a vehicle for cultural preservation. The study advocates for enhanced institutional support, educator training, and curriculum adaptability to foster culturally relevant education.

Abstract

The advancement of information and communication technology has profoundly altered educational models. The engagement between teachers and learners is no longer limited to traditional classrooms but expands to various online platforms. A qualitative method utilizing a descriptive-analytical approach has been implemented in this study. Information was gathered through detailed interviews with teachers, observations within academic environments, and reviews of existing literature. The analysis reveals trends in how teachers are adapting to technological advancements. The findings indicate that digitalization has redefined the role of teachers as the leading providers of knowledge, reducing their authority from students' perspective. While technology enhances accessibility to learning resources, it also brings ethical challenges, including a rise in consumer-oriented attitudes and a preference for instant gratification. Teachers must effectively integrate technology into their teaching, devise innovative strategies, and reconcile technological progress with character education to stay relevant. Therefore, transformations in education can serve as opportunities to enrich the overall quality of learning.

Abstract

With an emphasis on how social and cultural elements impact communication, identity, and interaction, this study investigates how sociolinguistics shapes students' language use in multilingual classrooms. Students frequently switch between local, national, and international languages like English in multilingual educational settings, leading to intricate linguistic patterns. Using a qualitative design, the study examined how sociolinguistic dynamics emerge through teacher and student interviews and classroom observations in regular learning interactions. The results show that various factors, including peer pressure, instructors' language preferences, and the sociocultural status of particular languages, influence how students use language. Interviews revealed, for example, that students frequently transition between Indonesian, English, and their native tongues based on the situation and the person speaking to them. Teachers also purposefully employed sociolinguistic techniques like translanguaging to establish connections and guarantee understanding. In addition to facilitating communication, these activities helped students develop their social identities. The findings highlight how crucial sociolinguistic understanding is to creating welcoming classrooms that celebrate linguistic variety. According to findings, incorporating sociolinguistic perspectives into teaching methods can improve language acquisition, advance linguistic equity, and fortify students' multilingual proficiency.
