The Use of Learning Media in Ethnophysics Learning: A Systematic Literature Review

In physics, there are still abstract topics that require visualization and relevant contextual connections to be well understood by students. Physics education is also important to be linked with local culture because this can provide relevant and familiar contexts for students, making it easier for them to understand abstract physics concepts. The integration of local culture in physics education can also enhance the appreciation and preservation of local culture, as well as foster pride in their cultural heritage. The purpose of this research is to analyze the literature review on physics education linked with local culture. This study applies the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Data collection was carried out by documenting and reviewing related articles published between 2014-2024 from the Scopus, Erics, and Google Scholar databases. Based on the search results, 33 relevant articles were obtained, which were then filtered based on inclusion criteria, resulting in 21 articles used as primary studies. Each article was documented and then analyzed based on the skills developed from the research results. The results of the systematic literature review show that the most studied physics topics related to local culture are motion and heat, and the teaching media often used is teaching modules. Ethnophysics learning can attract students.
