Abstract
The purpose of this study is to describe the application of the ethnopedagogy approach in chemistry learning as an effort to strengthen the cultural identity of students.This qualitative research involved 122 students of eleventh grade at SMAN 1 and SMAN 2 Pujut, Central Lombok.The cultural identity of students is studied in 3 (three) indicators, namely characteristics, formation, and strengthening of cultural identity.An already feasible questionnaire is used to collect data at the end of chemistry learning with an ethnopedagogy approach.The results showed that the characteristic of students' cultural identity is the culture of the Lombok people, the formation of cultural identity is more dominant from parents, and the strengthening of students' cultural identity is formed through an ethnopedagogy approach.Through this approach, learners are increasingly interested in chemistry so that they can further develop an awareness of the preservation of local culture and, more importantly, the development of a tolerant attitude towards foreign cultures without having to imitate them.These findings provide input for teachers and schools so that the ethnopedagogy approach and cultural identity of students can be considered in carrying out learning in the classroom.
