Abstract

The Medaq api tradition of the Lombok people, which is currently almost forgotten, has the value of local wisdom and is rich in sources of indigenous knowledge. The integration of this indigenous knowledge into chemistry learning activities has not been widely reported. One of the reasons is the difficulty of teachers in identifying chemical concepts from the community’s indigenous knowledge. Therefore, this study aims to identify chemical concepts derived from indigenous knowledge in the medaq api tradition of the Lombok people. Descriptive research on indigenous knowledge of the medaq api tradition was carried out in the North Lombok area. Interview, observation, and documentation techniques were used for data collection and then analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the chemical concepts identified in the medaq api tradition include chemical reactions, thermochemistry, organic compounds, solution, and colloids. The results of this study will contribute to the development of school chemistry teaching materials and as an effort to preserve the medaq api tradition of the Lombok community.
