This study aimed to propose an appropriate learning model that promotes siri' na pacce to nurture and strengthen the character of elementary school students. Siri' na pacce is the local wisdom of the Bugis-Makassar tribe, one of the prominent tribes in Indonesia. This study was educational design research. Designing this learning model applied three steps, specifically 1) needs and context analysis, 2) review of the literature and 3) development of the first blueprint for the model. Those steps were included in the preliminary research 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, namely 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.
