The learning experience of students at the tertiary level still tends to prioritize learning outcomes rather than the learning process. Likewise, the integration of culture in learning is still very limited so that the impact on the quality of the learning process is not maximized. This study aims to analyze the relationship between learning experiences based on local wisdom and students' problem-solving skills based on gender. The number of samples was 70 students (45 female and 25 male) who were determined by cluster random sampling technique. The type of research used is a type of survey research. Research data analysis techniques using linear regression test with a significance level of .05. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that; 1) students' problem solving skills based on gender are higher than learning experiences based on local wisdom, and 2) there is a significant relationship between learning experiences based on local wisdom and students' problem solving skills based on gender. Thus, the implementation of local wisdom-based learning has strong relevance to student problem-solving skills so it really needs to be developed both in planning and implementing activities in the learning process.
