Abstract

Local wisdom-based character education plays an important role in shaping students' cultural identity, especially in areas rich in tradition such as Banjarmasin City. The Kayuh Baimbai philosophy, which emphasizes the values of mutual cooperation, cooperation, and solidarity, is an important basis for shaping students' character with superior character. This study aims to understand how Kayuh Baimbai values are applied in character education in schools with superior character in Banjarmasin. With a qualitative approach, this study used in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis to explore the views of teachers, students, and community leaders on the importance of this philosophy in education. The results showed that Kayuh Baimbai values not only strengthen students' cultural identity, but also increase social engagement, communication skills, and a sense of social responsibility. However, several challenges remain, including a lack of in-depth understanding of the philosophical meaning of these values, limited resources, and the need for training to ensure that these values can be internalized more deeply in school life. Therefore, a more structured strategy is needed to ensure that these values can continue to strengthen students' character and broaden their cultural horizons.
