Abstract

One of the problems faced by young people in Indonesia today is their ignorance about their own local culture. Educational institutions as a forum to equip students with local culture knowledge does not seem to have a maximal role in this matter. A survey was conducted involving 72 high school students in the province of West Sumatra, Indonesia to find out the learning process they were taking at their school. The survey results show that the teachers who teach them have not integrated the local cultural knowledge into learning. Further interviews were also conducted with 15 economics teachers to get information about their difficulties and experiences in introducing culture through learning. Based on this interview, problems faced by these teachers include limited teacher knowledge about Minangkabau culture and limited school time. The implication of the findings of this study is the need for the development of a Minangkabau-based economic learning model as a result of the study of phenomena in the field and a theory about the development of a Minangkabau-based learning model.
