Cultural literacy refers to the ability to understand, preserve, and develop both local and national culture. In today's era, society often lacks the foundation to filter external cultural influences, significantly impacting younger generations particularly elementary school students who are still vulnerable. This study aims to analyze the cultural literacy skills of Grade Five students in Science and Social Studies using the Taxonomy of the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome, as well as the factors that influence these skills. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving 12 students, one subject teacher, and one library officer from Public Elementary School Minggirsari. The researcher served as the key instrument, using data collection techniques such as participant observation, in-depth interviews, document analysis, and tests. The findings revealed that students' cultural literacy skills are generally at the multistructural level of thinking. Several factors influence this outcome, including the application of learning methods, students' interests, environmental exposure, availability of facilities, school policies, and technological development. Future research is suggested to involve a broader and more diverse group of subjects in terms of ethnicity, religion, and socioeconomic background to obtain more comprehensive insights.
