Analysis of Student Needs for Writing Textbooks Based on Local Wisdom in the Indonesian Literature Study Program, Pamulang University

There have been many evaluation studies of Indonesian language textbooks that examine local wisdom and cultural metaphors, but no one has taught about knowledge values and character values in textbooks, especially in higher education. The research aims to determine students' needs for the importance of Indonesian language textbooks to improve students' abilities in writing narratives, by integrating local wisdom into Indonesian language textbook material at the Indonesian literature study program at Pamulang University. The method used in this research was interview techniques with students in the Indonesian literature study program at Pamulang University. Findings based on the results of interviews in Indonesian literature with students show that university students are considered less successful because students' written work in the form of narrative essays still shows weaknesses. Some of the weaknesses related to this are: Determining vocabulary (diction), themes, spelling, and choosing the right words. The implications of providing Indonesian language textbooks, teaching values, morals, traditions, knowledge, cultural metaphors, local wisdom and being able to produce quality writing.
