Abstract
The integration of the local wisdom of the Mount Rinjani community provides an alternative solution for educational problems that can be tailored to the needs of both the supplements and substitutions in the learning process. The Local Wisdom Integrated Biology Learning Program (LWIBLP) is an innovative learning program designed to improve generic science skills and positive characters of students towards the environment. This study aims at developing and producing a quality LWIBLP Program (valid in content and construct, and reliable). The main products is the LWIBLP Program which is manifested in the form of the LWIBLP Program Book. The quality of the LWIBLP Program was obtained through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) activities using an instrument for assessing the quality of learning programs. The quality analysis of the LWIBLP Program emloyed average validity scores, single measure ICC, and Cronbachs alpha coefficient. The results show the LWIBLP Program, with the average content validity of 3.51, construct validity of 3.61, the validity of each aspect statistically (rɑ = 1.00) and reliability (ɑ = 1.00), meets the quality in good category. The research implication is that the LWIBLP Program is declared qualified by the assessor and can be used to improve generic science skills and positive character of students towards the environment.
