Educational Effects of Ethnoscience, Indigenous Knowledge, and Local Wisdom in Science and STEM Education.

Year: 2026
Type: review
Abstract: = 0.5766). Educational level, outcome type, instructional model, science subject, cultural context, and intervention duration did not show statistically detectable between-category differences. Media type produced a significant omnibus test, although several categories contained few studies and imprecise estimates, so this finding was treated as exploratory. The funnel plot showed possible asymmetry but did not establish publication bias. Overall, the evidence indicates a positive average association between culturally contextualized science interventions and educational outcomes, while the magnitude of effects varies considerably across studies. The findings support cautious, context-sensitive implementation and highlight the need for stronger designs, clearer intervention descriptions, and more consistent moderator coding.
