INTEGRATING INDONESIAN LOCAL WISDOM INTO GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP: A META-ANALYTICAL STUDY ON PEACE, DECOLONIAL, AND INTERCULTURAL LEARNING

Abdul Ghofur

Abstract


This meta-analytical study examines the impact of integrating Indonesian local wisdom into peace and sustainability education within the broader framework of decolonial and intercultural learning. Synthesizing 42 empirical studies published between 2010 and 2024, the findings reveal a consistent, moderate to strong positive correlation (r = 0.46) between local-wisdom based pedagogy and learner’s global citizenship and peace-oriented competencies. Moderator analyses indicate stronger effects at early educational levels, in experiential pedagogies, and within rural context settings where cultural traditions remain deeply embedded in community life. The study concludes that indigenous pedagogies, rooted in ethical and relational worldviews, not only enhance moral reasoning and empathy but also challenge the epistemic dominance of Western educational paradigms. By reframing local wisdom as epistemic foundation rather than cultural enrichment, Indonesian education offers a viable model for achieving intercultural understanding, sustainability, and global peace.
