Abstract

Since disasters can happen at any time, having strong disaster resilience is crucial. Thus, it is critical to consider how local wisdom will endure. This research question is about how to integrate local wisdom and STEM-based disaster resilience for disaster mitigation. Therefore, this research aims to reveal the importance of this integration. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires to teachers in Aceh province. A total of 144 teachers participated in this research. The results of this research are that local wisdom values must be integrated into the learning process to improve post-disaster recovery through STEM. In this way, it is hoped that local wisdom can be applied to learning at school through STEM. Therefore, stakeholders, society, and government must pay attention to this situation to create disaster-resistant students and communities.
