This cross-cultural analysis addresses a growing need to understand the integration of local wisdom in primary school social science curricula, particularly in the contexts of Taiwan and Indonesia. The research problem centers on the examination of curricular content, pedagogical strategies, and the depth of local wisdom integration within these nations' educational frameworks. Employing a content analysis approach, the study categorizes and compares themes, values, and cultural elements in the curricula, shedding light on similarities and disparities. The research methodology involves extensive document analysis and a comprehensive review of existing studies, covering empirical, qualitative, and quantitative research. The results aim to offer a nuanced comparative synthesis of local wisdom integration in Taiwan and Indonesia, highlighting common trends and differences. The study concludes by emphasizing the implications for education, showcasing how a culturally informed curriculum can positively influence students' attitudes toward diversity. This research underscores the importance of fostering cultural understanding within educational systems, providing valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and curriculum developers striving to create inclusive and culturally rich learning environments.
