Abstract
Student independence is a condition or ability of students to carry out learning activities that are driven by their own will, their own choices and their own responsibility for learning. Student independence can be encouraged through a culture-based approach known as the Culturally Responsive Teaching Approach. This research aims to increase students' independence through a culturally responsive teaching approach based on Madurese culture. This research is Classroom Action Research using a model developed by Kurt Lewin. The subjects in this research were 30 students in class VII B of SMP Negeri 1 Bangkalan for the 2023/2024 academic year. This research was divided into two cycles, namely cycle I (two meetings) and cycle II (three meetings) using observation sheets as a data collection technique. The results of the research showed that the average percentage of independence, which initially had an average percentage of 56% in cycle I in the sufficient category, increased to 69% in cycle II in the good category. So the average increase in the percentage of student independence in cycles I and II increased by 13%. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of a culturally responsive teaching approach based on Madurese culture can increase students' independence.
