Abstract

This study aims to develop a character education model based on Bugis-Makassar cultural values ​​to improve the morality of elementary school students in South Sulawesi. Bugis-Makassar culture is known for its rich value system, such as siri' na pacce (shame and solidarity), which has great potential in shaping students' positive character. This study uses a qualitative approach with a multi-site study design, which allows for an in-depth exploration of the implementation of character education based on Bugis-Makassar cultural values ​​in various elementary schools in South Sulawesi. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of a local culture-based education model is able to strengthen moral values ​​such as honesty, responsibility, and respect in students. The developed model includes contextual learning based on folklore, traditional games, and the implementation of siri' na pacce values ​​in daily activities in the school environment. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of integrating local culture in the educational curriculum to create a generation with morals and character. This model is expected to be a practical guide for educators and policymakers in improving the quality of character education based on local wisdom in Indonesia, especially in the South Sulawesi region.
