Abstract
The application of 21st-century skills has become an important necessity in the science (IPA) learning process, especially in the context of local culture. The purpose of this research is to examine the application of the Ethno-ISETS (Islamic, Science, Environment, Technology, and Society) approach in science learning, with a focus on the traditional production of brown sugar as a form of local wisdom integrated into science education. This study employs qualitative methods with purposive sampling to understand the process of brown sugar production from an ethno-science perspective. The research results show that the process of making brown sugar involves scientific concepts, such as energy, heat, and phase changes, and enriches students' understanding through cultural and religious contexts. The use of natural fuel from sugarcane bagasse and the application of Islamic principles in material processing demonstrate a close relationship between traditional knowledge and modern scientific concepts. Through this approach, students can actively engage in the learning process, enhance their critical thinking skills, and appreciate local knowledge and technology. The results of this research also contribute to enriching the science education curriculum by linking scientific skills with local cultural practices.
