Employing qualitative methodologies, including interviews with educators, classroom observations, and analysis of educational materials, the research assesses the impact of incorporating local cultural resources into teaching practices. Findings indicate that ethnopedagogical materials significantly improve students' engagement and foster a deeper appreciation for local and neighboring cultures.
