Abstract

This research aims to identify and analyze the perceptions of prospective physics teachers regarding the use of ethnologs in physics learning that is integrated with local culture. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with research subjects consisting of prospective physics teachers in the Physics Education study program at Medan State University. Subject selection was carried out by purposive sampling based on certain criteria. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, questionnaires and observations. From the research results, facts were obtained regarding the perception of prospective Physics teacher students regarding knowledge about ethnoscience and ethnologs, namely, 62% knew about ethnoscience and ethnologs, 35% did not know about ethnoscience and ethnologs, while the rest knew some. Regarding the relationship between knowledge and the application of ethnoscience and ethnoscience in learning, 50% of respondents know about ethnoscience and have used it, 21% do not know about ethnoscience and have not used it for respondents who answered that they know about ethnoscience but have not used it and do not know about ethnoscience but have used each. each by 10%.
