Abstract: This study aims to analyze the influence of curriculum management, local wisdom, and learning communities on student character through learning quality as a mediating variable in elementary schools in Palaran District, Samarinda City. The research is designed using a quantitative approach with an explanatory survey method to identify direct and indirect relationships between variables. The research framework covers 27 elementary schools, consisting of 24 public schools and three private schools, with a target of 70 teacher respondents. The research instrument uses a Likert scale questionnaire consisting of 25 indicators to measure five research constructs: curriculum management, local wisdom, learning community, learning quality, and student character. The initial test of the model was carried out using 70 data points through the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method with the Mode A approach and bootstrapping techniques 10,000 times. The results of the analysis showed a determination coefficient (R²) value of learning quality of 0.4221 and student character of 0.4790. This value showed that the model was able to explain 42.21% of the variation in learning quality and 47.90% of the variation in student character in the analyzed data. In addition, seven out of ten relationship paths showed statistical support based on a 95% confidence interval that did not cross zero. These results provide a preliminary overview of the model's ability to explain the relationship between curriculum management, integration of local wisdom, learning community, learning quality, and student character formation.
