%X This design-based research is part of three-year national projects examining the  incorporation of local wisdom in a character-based education in primary school contexts.  Specifically, the present study addresses two research questions: 1) what are local wisdoms of  Betawi ethnic feasible to be incorporated in character based curriculum in primary school contexts,  2) what are potential classroom instruction methods for such a local wisdom integrated  curriculum. To this end, I worked with historian, educational experts and practitioners. Multiple  data collection methods were employed, including documents study, interview, survey, focus group  discussion and observation. The collected data were analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively.  This study has highlighted several beliefs, values and local wisdom from Betawi culture feasible for  integration within classroom instruction. More importantly, the study has discussed an alternative  instructional method that facilitated the incorporation of the beliefs, values and local wisdom from  Betawi culture in classroom context.
