Feasibility of the Ethno Social Learning Model for Elementary Children

Abstract

Local cultural wisdom needs to be maintained because it indicates the characteristics of a region, including the social field. The social culture of each region is very unique and different. The uniqueness of social culture in each region always adheres to positive teachings and deserves to be preserved. The purpose of this research is to produce an ethnosocial learning model that is suitable for use in the learning process. The research was conducted with an R&D approach. The research subjects were students, teachers, and principals of elementary schools. The instrument used is a questionnaire. The results showed that elementary school ethnosocial involvement in the social science learning process was shallow. In fact, what often happens is to provide examples of socio-culture in other areas of learning in elementary schools. This incident occurred without any intentional element and was in accordance with what was thought when the social science learning process took place. For this reason, it is necessary to create an ethnosocial learning model so that there is an effort to pay attention to ethnosocial in their own environment. One of the efforts that can be done is to develop an ethnosocial learning model in elementary schools. The ethnosocial learning model that was created was declared feasible to be applied in elementary schools. The advantage of the ethnosocial learning model is that this model pays attention to the social development of children which is adapted to the local culture.

Students Worksheets Based on the Kampar Community for Social Science Learning in Grade IV Elementary School

“…The nature of social studies education developed in learning is based on the reality of the sociocultural conditions that exist in the student's environment (Setiawan & Mulyati, 2020;Widodo, 2020). So that, with the conditions experienced by students in their social environment, they can develop them into good citizens who are able to understand and examine critically in the social life around them, as well as being able to play an active role, participate in the environment of life in local, national and world communities (Antari et al, 2013;Hamimah et al, 2022). But in reality social studies learning is still not able to have a positive impact on the community, because the social studies learning carried out is still rote with the lecture method and the material in the book is not in accordance with the students' environmental conditions (Laili & Murni, 2021;Setiawan & Mulyati, 2020).…”
