Abstract
<p>Human resources with good characters are badly needed in a national development. Hence, developing characters, especially the development of characters based on local wisdom is highly needed. This study was part of a study of local culture-based Physics model of teaching at senior high school, i.e., the need analysis and conceptual model prototype stage. The subjects were 20 physics teachers who had at least 10 years of teaching physics experience at public and private senior high schools in Singaraja, Bali. The study used questionnaire, observation guide, and interview as the instruments for collecting the data. The data were analyzed by a descriptivequalitative analysis. The result showed that (1) Nine Balinese local wisdom-based characters could be developed in physics teaching; (2) The method that is appropriate for the local wisdom-based development of characters is inquiry from various perspectives, discussion, and demonstration; (3) The core procedure of teaching that can develop the students’ character are exploration, focusing attention, inquiry from various perspectives (scientific, sociocultural, historical), elaboration, and confirmation.<br /><br /></p>
Highlights
Character building is very important and urgent (Samani & Hariyanto, 2012)
The stage of teaching concepts review was done by reviewing relevant literature and focus group discussion (FGD) with senior high school Physics teachers who were selected as the sample of the study
There are nine Balinese local wisdombased characters which can be developed in Physics teaching at senior high school
Summary
Character building is very important and urgent (Samani & Hariyanto, 2012). We have to start from building characters, ethics, and good behaviors to develop the nation of Indonesia. This nation has a superior and noble civilization Howerer, this idea has received less attention in educational process, as evidenced from the behaviors such as blaspheming using vulgar expressions both in a demonstration or a social media, broadcasting false news (hoax), bullying, engaging in gang fightings, doing dishonest acts (cheating, corruption, plagiarism), intolerance toward differences and laziness which are done by. This idea has received less attention in educational process, as evidenced from the behaviors such as blaspheming using vulgar expressions both in a demonstration or a social media, broadcasting false news (hoax), bullying, engaging in gang fightings, doing dishonest acts (cheating, corruption, plagiarism), intolerance toward differences and laziness which are done by This statement is supported by Suastra (2010) who state that contemporary Science (Physics) teaching accommodates less local wisdom values that are full with virtues. Local genius which is often called local wisdom can be understood as an effort of human beings who through their cognitions to act and behave toward an object, or an event that occurs in a particular space (Ridwan, 2007)
