Abstract

The study investigates the current state of lesson plan design that integrates local education on selected traditional crafts within the Grade 3 Science and Social Studies curriculum in Đắk Lắk Province. The research focuses on teachers’ perceptions of the role of integrated local education, their topic selection, teaching methods, as well as the advantages, challenges, and expectations in implementing this approach. Findings reveal that most teachers demonstrate positive perceptions and have gradually applied integrated teaching effectively in practice. These results provide a foundation for proposing strategies to improve the effectiveness of integrating local education into future teaching practices.
