<![CDATA[Natural Science and Social Studies (IPAS) learning in elementary schools plays an important role in supporting students’ understanding of natural and social phenomena in their surrounding environment. However, IPAS learning is still frequently presented in an abstract manner and is not sufficiently connected to students’ real-life contexts, resulting in learning experiences that are less meaningful. One approach considered relevant to strengthen contextual learning is the integration of local wisdom into digital learning media. This article aims to analyze the importance of integrating local wisdom into digital learning media for IPAS learning in elementary schools. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach through a literature review of national journals, educational reference books, and curriculum policy documents published within the last five years. The findings indicate that integrating local wisdom into digital learning media contributes to improving students’ conceptual understanding of IPAS, strengthening character development, and fostering environmental awareness, while also supporting meaningful and deep learning. Therefore, the integration of local wisdom into digital learning media can be regarded as an important and relevant pedagogical approach to enhance the quality of IPAS learning in elementary schools.]]>
