Abstract

This descriptive-qualitative case study aims to (1) identify the values of Buginese/Makasaresse local wisdoms that shape the learning process of Hasanuddin University students attending the Writing2 (MBI2) subject in the even semester, 2014; (2) find out which of the local wisdoms that strongly shape the student-centred learning (SCL) process in the Writing II class. The study focused on students classroom interaction. Data were collected from classroom observations, questionnaires, interviews and teachers note on the learning process in classroom. This study found that what is thought as Buginese or Makassarese local wisdoms can both support and inhibit the SCL process in MBI2. Such local wisdoms include respect to older people and mutual help

Highlights

December 2013 edition of Identitas reported the sixth-year implementation of student-centred learning (SCL) in Hasanuddin University (Unhas) which does not seem to show any difference with the previously practised teaching-centred learning
The local wisdoms here refer to all products, processes or traditions rooted in Indonesian society, especially in South Sulawesi, and are apart of the traditions influencing Indonesian people‟s activities in their community
Following Seliger & Shohamy (1989), the case study here attends to students‟ interaction inwriting class in order to have a more detailed data on the forms of local wisdoms practised while interacting in class.This study assumes that students‟ patterns of interaction in each subject is different due to different teaching methodology, the objectives, and teaching/learning maerials

Summary

Introduction

December 2013 edition of Identitas reported the sixth-year implementation of student-centred learning (SCL) in Hasanuddin University (Unhas) which does not seem to show any difference with the previously practised teaching-centred learning. SCL is a learning approach which was highly influenced by Lev Vigotsky, as cited in Brown (2007), who said that students are responsible for their learning. Students reconstrut what they learn in class into something relevant to them and become independent of their own learning inside and outside the class. It is clear that students, as the primary factor in learning process, belong to the society where they they live or come from This means that the students and the society are interchangably influenced one another. This impliesthat the efforts to implement SCL in Unhas are inseparable from the traditions in the society. The local wisdoms here refer to all products, processes or traditions rooted in Indonesian society, especially in South Sulawesi, and are apart of the traditions influencing Indonesian people‟s activities in their community
