Abstract

This study aims to identify the impact of integrating the local wisdom of Maja Labo Dahu with innovative teaching methods in the course Anti-Corruption Education to enhance students' understanding, attitudes, and engagement. The research employs a qualitative method with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and questionnaires. The findings indicate that the integration of Maja Labo Dahu significantly enhances students' understanding of anti-corruption concepts, with an average score increase from 70% to 90% following the implementation of the local wisdom-based learning model. Additionally, student engagement in the learning process has improved, with 85% of students reporting an increased sense of responsibility in applying anti-corruption values in their daily lives. Through community-based projects, students also participated in disseminating the values of Maja Labo Dahu, positively impacting community awareness of the importance of integrity and honesty. This research affirms that the integration of local wisdom not only enriches learning materials but also shapes students' character and ethics. It is recommended that educational institutions develop local wisdom-based learning models to create more relevant and meaningful learning experiences, as well as to support the strengthening of cultural identity and student character.
