STRATEGIC VISION OF LOCAL WISDOM-BASED CURRICULUM MANAGEMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NOBLE CHARACTER IN MADRASAS: A PERSPECTIVE REVIEW OF GOOD EDUCATION GOVERNANCE

Abstrak

This study aims to analyze the strategy of local wisdom-based curriculum management in fostering noble character among students in Madrasas by applying the principles of Good Governance. The background of this study stems from the reality of a character and moral crisis in education, as well as the limited integration of local cultural values in the national curriculum. Huma Betang, representing the local wisdom of the Dayak community in Central Kalimantan, encompasses noble values such as unity, deliberation, tolerance, and social responsibility, which align with Islamic teachings and the principles of character education. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, this research explores how local wisdom values can be internalized through a curriculum that is contextual and relevant to students' social environments. The findings show that a local wisdom-based curriculum strengthens students' cultural identity, increases their learning motivation, and fosters noble character more effectively than conventional, centralized curricula. The strategic vision development includes adjusting learning materials, using local practice-based teaching methods, and involving the community in character education. The study also emphasizes the importance of collaboration between schools, teachers, parents, and the community in creating a supportive environment for moral value internalization. The main finding reveals that integrating local values such as Huma Betang (togetherness, mutual cooperation, and deliberation) is a crucial foundation in curriculum design and implementation. However, the application of Good Governance principles—such as transparency, participation, and accountability—has not been optimally implemented systemically in school management. The novelty of this study lies in combining local values with modern governance principles to strengthen character education. The scholarly contribution of this article is providing a curriculum management model that is responsive to local values while aligning with the principles of good governance.
