Integrating Local Wisdom in Mathematics Concepts to Optimize Independent Learning

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum as a recovery of the education system for students' lagging behind during the pandemic, encourages the need for students to be able to learn independently, especially in mathematics.The development of mathematics learning media that is effective and relevant to students, such as the integration of local wisdom in mathematical concepts, is one of the important facilities that can help students to learn, understand, and master mathematical concepts independently.student-centered learning models, such as context-based learning, problems, and projects, can be used in independent learning because they can increase interest and motivation in learning and encourage students to think logically and reason, where mathematical reasoning skills are an important element in supporting students' independent learning success.This study aims to analyze learning media based on PBL (Problem-Based Learning) model integrated with local wisdom of A'songko-songko Jangang traditional games on students' mathematical reasoning ability as a skill to support the success of independent learning.The research method used is pre-experimental with a one shot case study design.This research was conducted at SMAN 10 Gowa Sulawesi Selatan in the 2024/2025 school year with a total sample of 36 students.The sample was selected using random sampling technique.Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and simple linear regression.Statistical analysis was carried out using IBM SPSS 20.The results showed that PBL model-based learning media integrated with A'songko-songko Jangang local wisdom played a positive role in mathematical reasoning ability, so that it could optimize independent learning.
