The study employed a quantitative approach with a One Group Pretest–Posttest Design, involving 21 fifth-grade students from SDN 105 Pekanbaru. The research instruments consisted of a multiple-choice scientific literacy test and a Likert-scale cultural understanding questionnaire, both of which had been validated and tested for reliability. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, paired sample t-test, and N-Gain analysis to assess the level of learning effectiveness. The results showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores, with t = -18.514 (Sig. 0.000) for scientific literacy and t = -16.850 (Sig. 0.000) for cultural understanding. The average N-Gain score of 0.565 indicated a moderate level of effectiveness, with the highest improvement in scientific literacy (0.798; high category) and cultural understanding (0.332; moderate category). It can be concluded that integrating Bono Wave local wisdom into Sciences learning is effective in enhancing students’ scientific literacy and cultural understanding and has the potential to serve as a contextual learning model that strengthens scientific character and cultural values in elementary education.]]>
