Abstract: The study determine the effect of the implementation of project based local wisdom learning in order to

meet the era of disruption by involving students in the assignment through exploration of regional potential

so that students have a sense of pride in Indonesia. This research uses meta-analysis technique, which is the

technique of selecting deliberate scientific documents such as journal articles and research reports. The

results of data analysis are presented in the form of percentages and descriptions as a result of the research

encountered. The results of the study show that project based local wisdom learning can support the

strengthening of character education programs in the 2013 curriculum.

1 INTRODUCTION

Indonesia was struggling to harmonize globalization,

the impact of increasingly sophisticate children

using digital technology recorded by KPAI for

digital crime and pornography cases as much as

7.87% of cases that need guidance and direction

from three education centres in Indonesia (teachers,

parents, and the community) for minimize this.

According to the Government Regulation of the

Republic of Indonesia Number 40 of 2011

concerning coaching, assistance, and recovery of

children who are victims or perpetrators of

pornography. In Chapter III Article 18 regarding

assistance that reads "Governments and regional

governments in accordance with their authority,

social institutions, educational institutions, religious

institutions, families, fund know that the community

must carry out assistance to children who are victims

or perpetrators of pornography.

The description refers to the role of third

centered education that jointly anticipate and carry

out joint rehabilitation of children of perpetrators or

victims of pornography in Indonesia. Such

assistance can be carried out by conducting intensive

supervision and fostering a sense of ownership of

the child so that his existence can be recognized and

desired by the community. In educational

institutions that are now using the 2013 curriculum

which leads to the planting of characters from an

early age starting from elementary school can

support preventive pornography actions among

school children through learning in school.

School learning culture that is realized through

the application of local wisdom-based learning

supported by project assignments in diverse

communities in Indonesia is expected to help

students recognize the local culture and potential of

each region in order to grow into a unique

generation with cultural characteristics from each

region.

Through the introduction of local culture towards

students in Indonesia, it is expected to be able to

help government “Nawa Cita” programs data from

(Pusbindiklatren Bappenas, 2017) that are relevant

to education in Indonesia, namely building Indonesia

from the periphery by strengthening regional and

rural areas within the framework of a unitary state

and revolutionizing the nation's character through a

policy of restructuring the national education

curriculum. by prioritizing the aspect of citizenship

education which places proportionally aspects of

education such as the teaching of the history of

national formation, the values of patriotism and love

of the homeland, the spirit of defending the country

and character in the Indonesian education

curriculum.

Indonesian people with diverse ethnic

backgrounds make Indonesia rich in ethnicity,

culture, language, religion and need character

planting that is adapted to the local wisdom of local

culture. Separate islands in Indonesia are united by

vast stretches of ocean. Therefore, learning in

schools needs to be designed in accordance with

local strengths and the provision of projects based

on local wisdom in Indonesia so that students find

their own character based on the characteristics of

each tribe in each region in Indonesia.

This is supported by the change in the curriculum

in Indonesia which originally used the education unit

level curriculum to be the 2013 curriculum which

prioritizes learning designed using core

competencies which consist of four achievement

competencies namely KI 1 emphasizing on religious

aspects, KI 2 related to social aspects, KI 3 related to

knowledge, and KI 4 is an aspect of skill.

2 METHOD

This study uses a meta-analysis. Meta-analysis is an

integrative study in analyzing several literature

sources to be reviewed in the same scope of the

problem. Researchers used statistical analysis to

determine the effect size. Effect size is the strength

of the relationship between variables and to find out

the differences between variables. Data analysis

used in this study is quantitative analysis in the form

of percentages based on the effect size findings.

3 RESULT AND DISCUSSION

The sample of the present study was collected from

18 (eighteen) research articles in which it is aimed to

figure out the influence of mathematics video

learning toward cognitive and affective aspects of

the students.

Previous research in this research sample aims to

implement project-based learning strategies and

local wisdom in multicultural communities in

Indonesia. Based on the analysis of 14 studies, it was

found that the purpose of using learning strategies

based on local wisdom and project-based as follows

Based on the analysis of 14 previous research

articles, mentioning that students with a

multicultural background in Indonesia can

understand learning that combines local learning

with project-based learning. Through learning local

wisdom in general, it can increase sensitivity to local

culture. In project-based learning students are more

creative in honing the task of completing tasks. And

in general the level of effectiveness of the learning

model to be implemented in learning is quite high.

In table 2 above, the findings of data analysis

indicate that students' sensitivity abilities can be

raised through project-based learning models and

local wisdom with a percentage of 19.23%. In the

aspect of creativity shows the percentage of 26, 92%

which means higher value than the character aspect

formed. In accordance with the purpose of the study

to determine the effectiveness of both learning

models, this can be proven through the deepening of

material for students as well as the direction of

growing early characters that are built through local

wisdom. Thus, being able to make the collaboration

of project-based learning models and local wisdom

reach a high effectiveness level of 53.85%.

4 CONCLUSIONS

The conclusions that can be obtained based on

simple percentage analysis and discussion on 14

previous research articles are project-based learning

models and local wisdom can be recommended to be

applied to classroom learning for multicultural

Indonesians. The collaboration of these models has

an impact on increasing sensitivity (empathy) and

encouraging students to creatively solve problems in

project assignments.
