Abstract

The lack of contextual teaching materials at the secondary school level is a challenge in chemistry learning, so the application of ethnochemistry is important. This study aims to analyze the relevance of the concepts of ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metal bonds with the local wisdom of the Samawa community as a learning resource in the context of ethnochemistry. Using a qualitative approach, this study explores local Samawa values that can be integrated into chemistry learning. Data collection techniques include literature studies, interviews, and documentation of local cultural practices. The data obtained were analyzed using Spradley's qualitative. The subjects of the study consisted of community leaders, academics in the field of chemistry, and relevant literature sources. The results of the study showed that several local traditions such as nyorong, sedekah lang, and isong bale contain principles that are in line with the concepts of ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metal bonds. These findings indicate that the integration of local Samawa wisdom in chemistry learning not only enriches the learning context, but also strengthens local cultural values in science education. Thus, local wisdom can be utilized as a contextual, relevant, and meaningful learning resource for students.
