<![CDATA[Dance learning in elementary schools requires a contextual approach to improve students’ learning motivation. The integration of local cultural materials, especially the Jathilan dance, is an effort to create meaningful and engaging learning experiences that are relevant to students’ cultural environments. This study aimed to describe the implementation of local cultural materials in art learning, students’ art learning motivation, and the influence of local cultural materials on the art learning motivation of fifth-grade students at SDN Salamsari, Kendal Regency. This study employed a quantitative ex post facto design. The findings showed that the implementation of local cultural materials obtained an index score of 86% in the high category, while students’ learning motivation obtained a score of 68.4% in the moderate category. Correlation analysis showed a value of 0.458, indicating a moderate relationship between local cultural materials and learning motivation. The hypothesis test showed that t-count was higher than t-table (2.189 > 1.983) with a significance value of 0.042 < 0.05, indicating a significant influence of local cultural materials on students’ art learning motivation. The contribution of local cultural materials to learning motivation was 21%.]]>
