Introduction: The rapid development of science and technology has a major impact on various aspects of human life. The limited availability of electronic teaching materials shows the lack of use of technology in the learning process, and teachers express that learning resources for science subjects are still limited. The study developed an E-Module for the independent learning curriculum based on local wisdom to improve cultural literacy and critical thinking skills.
Methods: The research used a descriptive qualitative method with questionnaire, interview, and observation instruments.
Results: The methods and teaching materials used by teachers are dominated by methods and sources that are less relevant to the needs of the times. Low student attention, interest, and competence reinforce that there are deficiencies in the learning process. Teachers need e-modules based on local wisdom to help improve cultural literacy and critical thinking skills.
Conclusions: The conclusion of this study is that there is a need to develop teaching materials in the form of e-modules developed based on local wisdom that can improve cultural literacy and critical thinking skills for elementary school students.
