Abstract

This study aims to examine the integration of patriotic values and local wisdom through song habituation within a humanistic learning approach in primary education. The research employs a mixed-methods design involving elementary school students and teachers, with data collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, and document analysis over one academic term. The findings reveal that routine singing of national and local songs fosters students’ sense of patriotism, cultural awareness, and emotional engagement in learning. Students demonstrate increased appreciation of national identity and local culture, supported by meaningful and joyful learning experiences. This study contributes to the development of humanistic learning practices by offering a contextual strategy to integrate character education and cultural values in primary school settings.
