Abstract
Contextual learning practices utilizing local wisdom, such as subak in social studies in junior high schools, have yet to be widely applied. This study explores the relevance of subak as a social study teaching material in Junior High School to analyze teachers' understanding and attitudes about subak as a learning resource. The research was conducted in Badung Regency, which is located in the central part of South Bali. The number of samples was determined by 60 teachers from 116 people in 6 districts. Data were analyzed by descriptive technique. The results showed that subak, as the local wisdom of Balinese farmers, is very significant as social studies teaching material 45.56% of teachers do not understand subak, 33.39% have moderate, and only 20.56% have a high understanding. The results of this study have implications for the importance of holding regular training or workshops to improve teachers' understanding and skills in using subak as social studies teaching material. These activities will be effectively implemented under the coordination of professional organizations, such as subject-teacher deliberations and the social studies teacher forum.
