Five distinctive values were revealed using direct observation and Delphi Techniques: a high tolerance for ambiguity, sustainable innovation, independence, high risk-taking propensity, and external locus of control. Since teachers consist-ently claim that materials centred on events on the island of Java (Java-based approach) dominate social studies instruction, the finding of this study  can be used  as  a model for developing supplementary materi-al based on the real example of locality uniqueness.
