Abstracts

The development of Science Worksheets (LKPD) based on the Ethno-STEAM approach represents a significant innovation in elementary science education, integrating local wisdom with Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics to create contextual and meaningful learning experiences. This systematic literature review aims to examine the effectiveness of Ethno-STEAM-based LKPD in enhancing conceptual understanding, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills among elementary students. Through PRISMA-guided analysis of 25 relevant studies, the findings demonstrate that Ethno-STEAM-based LKPD effectively facilitates active, student-centered learning while strengthening cultural awareness and competencies essential for the 21st century. The integration of local cultural elements significantly increases learning relevance and student engagement, although challenges remain in implementation scale, authentic assessment development, and long-term impact measurement. This study concludes that Ethno-STEAM-based LKPD development offers a strategic approach to creating contextual, creative, and interdisciplinary science learning that aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4 regarding quality education. Practical implications suggest the need for educators and curriculum developers to design culturally adaptive LKPD that balance local values with STEAM activities, while future research should focus on multi-location implementation and comprehensive assessment instrument development.
