This study aims to analyze the meaning of local wisdom values in the Syawalan tradition in Pedurungan Tengah Subdistrict, Pedurungan, Semarang, through a case study approach with qualitative methods. Syawalan tradition contains social, cultural, and religious dimensions that are in line with the objectives of Social Science Education (IPS): fostering understanding of social interaction, cultural diversity, and internalization of values in social life. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data validity technique uses triangulation techniques, namely triangulation of methods and sources. The results showed that the Syawalan tradition functions as a means of inheriting the values of mutual cooperation, solidarity, respect for plurality, and strengthening local identity. In the Syawalan tradition, there are essential values for the formation of good citizenship. Thus, the integration of the Syawalan tradition into social studies education can be a pedagogical strategy to preserve local wisdom while actualizing the goals of national education in building a harmonious society, nation, and state.

This research was motivated by the low awareness and implementation of environmentally conscious practices in Tegal Regency, where 18.2 tons of waste are generated daily. This issue is further compounded by the prevalence of littering and a general lack of awareness and understanding of effective waste management practices. This study aims to explore the significance of environmental stewardship among students and its internalization through the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project at SMP Negeri 1 Slawi. The research employed a qualitative case study approach that included observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and documentation. The findings indicate that despite receiving the Adiwiyata award, implementing environmentally friendly practices at SMP Negeri 1 Slawi remains inadequate. The observation of students littering and the lack of responsibility exhibited in sorting waste suggest that further improvements can be made. The Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project successfully optimized students' awareness and behaviour in maintaining cleanliness and waste management. This study suggests enhancing collaboration between schools, families, and communities, as well as government support through policies, infrastructure, and law enforcement to strengthen environmental care programs.

The diversity in Indonesia necessitates educators to create an environment accommodating this diversity in schools. This goal aligns with making education a means for "learning to live together," which is essential in 21st-century education. This paper employs a qualitative approach and is located at SMP Tunas Global. This study examines students' social behaviour and the process of strengthening social behaviour in diversity-based and inclusive schools. The research is conducted at SMP Tunas Global, a school known for its diversity and inclusion. Data sources include interviews with six students with special needs and typical students fromgrades 7, 8, and 9, observation notes during learning and additional activities, and student enrolment documents. Field study results indicate a tendency for role and expressive behaviours among students within the inclusive environment. However, social relationships between students with special needs and typical students do not naturally form. The limitation of parental consent for some students' condition information hampers the implementation of certain personalized programs.
