Abstract
Today the use of digital media in science learning has become a demand and necessity, not least in the elementary school level. However, the use of digital devices as a medium of instruction in primary schools should have positive impacts and surplus value, one of them reviving and maintaining local wisdom. This paper aims to present to outline the challenges and obstacles in packing science learning and local wisdom in digital devices. The research method is qualitative descriptive through stages of elementary school curriculum analysis, local wisdom value analysis and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to find the packaging formula both in science learning. The results show that local wisdom values of a region can integrate into relevant science learning. Appropriate techniques are required in packing the learning design in digital devices by considering the competence factor to be built, the adequacy of the content, the value of local wisdom and the ease of the media to be accessed.
