Potensi Kearifan Lokal melalui Pendayagunaan Ilmu Sosial, Sains, dan Teknologi

Abstract

The local wisdom passed down from their ancestors is little known to most of the younger generation. This lack of knowledge is due to the inheritance of most local wisdom by oral nature and the influence of foreign culture. The lack of knowledge about local wisdom can be approached by reintroducing the potential of local wisdom through the study of various scientific disciplines, such as social, science and technology. Study of various scientific disciplines through the fields of research and education. Therefore, this article aims to examine the relationship between local wisdom and social sciences, science and technology as well as efforts to introduce local wisdom to the younger generation. Local wisdom is expected to provide benefits for the development of social science which is studied using ethnographic research. Studies of ethnobiology, ethnoecology, ethnoscience, and the like can be used to study local wisdom from the perspective of science and the environment (natural and environmental science). Local wisdom from a scientific and environmental perspective can support sustainable environmental preservation thereby preventing biodiversity loss. Apart from that, ethnotechnology studies can also be used to analyze past technological artifacts or products as a consideration for sustainable technological knowledge. The use of social sciences, science and technology plays a role in introducing local wisdom through collaboration between scientific disciplines. The results of this collaborative research can be integrated into the curriculum and learning so that students can learn modern science as well as local wisdom. Local wisdom can also be introduced to the wider community through outreach or activities themed on local wisdom. It is hoped that the introduction of local wisdom can help to solve social and environmental issues.
