<![CDATA[This research examines the impact of cultural shifts in Baubau City on the learning patterns of elementary school students. As the former center of the Buton Sultanate, Baubau possesses a rich cultural heritage, yet globalization has introduced digital behaviors that challenge traditional educational values. The study identifies a decline in the application of local philosophies, such as "Pobinci-binci Kuli" and "Poma-maasiaka," in the classroom setting. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through interviews with educators and observations in several public elementary schools in Baubau. The findings reveal that digital culture has created a gap in students' social interactions and diminished their interest in local wisdom-based content. The study concludes that there is an urgent need for the integration of Butonese local wisdom into the modern curriculum to preserve cultural identity. This integration serves as a logical consequence for developing Islamic educational praxis in the region.
