Implication

Systematic review reveals diverse pathways for integrating Indigenous wisdom into science education in Indonesia, highlighting the need for comprehensive sustainability competency assessments.

Key Points

Synthesize empirical evidence on integrating local wisdom into Indonesian science education to support Education for Sustainable Development.
Followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines, searching four databases for empirical studies published between 2021 and 2026.
Identified 1,273 records and included 26 empirical studies across 13 geographic contexts in Indonesia for descriptive mapping and thematic synthesis.
Identified three primary integration pathways—knowledge reconstruction, learning-resource development, and pedagogical implementation—spanning ethnoscience, ethnomedicine, and traditional ecological knowledge.
Found frequent evaluations of scientific literacy and conceptual understanding, whereas multidimensional sustainability competencies and higher-order systemic thinking were examined less frequently.
Identified critical evidence gaps driven by methodological heterogeneity, reliance on short-term evaluations, and limited community co-design.
