The results of this study indicate that local Betawi cultural values ​​can be used as a form of approach in learning of developing student character so that the learning process will be more meaningful. One of the learning methods applied by social subject teachers at Almaka IT Middle School is first, by applying a Role play - a method used to imitate someone behaviour. The behavior implemented on the classroom is that related to Betawi culture such as the tradition of Palang Pintu(reciprocated distinctive betawi poetry), performing kicir-kicir(a name of betawi particular song) and promoting Betawi distinctive cuisine. After performing the role play, next the teacher told the moral feedback from these cultural traditions to their students. Secondly, the strategy of implementing the local wisdom values ​​of Betawi culture is applied outside of learning by making it as habit activities to be carried out at Almaka IT Middle School to instill the values ​​of religious character, togetherness, mutual cooperation, self-confidence and others in the real activities. As a conclusion, local culture can build civilization particularly for humans as cultural actors who is able to formulate the cultural on its ontological level.
