The aim of this study was to propose an appropriate model that promotes siri’ na pacce, the local wisdom of the Bugis-Makassar tribe, to strengthen the character of elementary school students. This study was educational design research. Designing this learning model applied three steps, specifically (1) needs and context analysis, (2) review of literature, and (3) development of first blueprint for the model. Those steps were included in the preliminary study phase of educational design research. The result of this study was a prototype of a siri' na pacce values-based learning model consisting of five steps: acquiring initial knowledge, thinking, discussing, communicating, and reflecting. The prototype needs to be put into practice and evaluated before being widely implemented in elementary schools.
