Abstract
In physics, there are still abstract topics that require visualization and relevant contextual connections to be well understood by students. Physics education is also important to be linked with local culture because this can provide relevant and familiar contexts for students, making it easier for them to understand abstract physics concepts. The integration of local culture in physics education can also enhance the appreciation and preservation of local culture, as well as foster pride in their cultural heritage. The purpose of this research is to analyze the literature review on physics education linked with local culture. This research uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Data collection was carried out by documenting and reviewing related articles published between 2014-2024 from the Scopus, Erics, and Google Scholar databases. Based on the search results, 33 relevant articles were obtained, which were then filtered based on inclusion criteria, resulting in 11 articles used as primary studies. Each article was documented and then analyzed based on the skills developed from the research results. The results of the systematic literature review show that the most studied physics topics related to local culture are kinematics, and the teaching media often used is teaching modules. Ethnophysics learning can attract students. This approach not only makes learning more interesting and meaningful but also helps build a bridge between modern science and local wisdom, ultimately promoting culture-based innovation and sustainability in society.
