Abstract
This study aims to analyze the integration of Nyadran Tirta Wening cultural values into IPAS (Integrated Natural and Social Science) learning to develop elementary students’ ecological intelligence. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed at SD Negeri 2 Jati from October 2025. The participants included a classroom teacher, third-grade students, the principal, and community members involved in the Nyadran Tirta Wening tradition. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The results indicate that cultural values such as gratitude for water sources, cooperation, and environmental care were successfully integrated into IPAS learning through school-based project activities. This process fostered students’ ecological awareness, understanding, and responsible actions toward nature. The combination of local wisdom and scientific learning created meaningful, contextualized learning experiences that enhanced students’ moral and environmental sensitivity. The study concludes that integrating local cultural values into IPAS learning is an effective pedagogical strategy to promote ecological intelligence while preserving Indonesia’s cultural heritage.
