Providing the best quality of education service must correlate to students’ need in facing future
challenges. This study aims to identify needs in integrating local wisdom to international
curriculum and to define the effect of using International Primary Curriculum module, by
introducing local wisdom, to develop students’ problem solving skill. Research and Development
method with ADDIE model is applied to produce module that answers the need. The participants
include Grade 6 students of Primary Program Focus Independent School, Surakarta, Indonesia.
The analysis stage provides data on learners’ initial performance, school facilities and needs. The
prototype produced at the design stage, with its product validation carried out by experts on the
instructional media, the material for content eligibility, aspects of presentation feasibility and
language, and experts’ feedbacks are taken as standards to implement module in the class. Problem
Based Learning in the IPC module provides data that students' mindset in digging information,
developing ideas, planning, making decisions and conclusions undergo changes. This can be seen
from the results of observation when students do exploring, thinking, planning, analyzing and
synthesizing. However, students' ability in evaluating has not shown equal quality to other
problem solving aspects. The percentage of activity in the module that emphasizes the initial phases
of problem solving, i.e. problem identification, information gathering, developing ideas and
planning can be potential causes for students to have less progress in this area. The increasing
number of students qualifying the standard indicates that the use of module can promote better
thinking skills.
