 Problem 1

Problem Identification

One of the problems during the social studies

learning process is the low student learning
outcomes in social science subjects at
elementary school level.
 Causative Factor
The cause of low learning outcomes in social studies subjects is
that students are less active and seem bored during the
learning process. This is likely due to the fact that there are still
many educators who apply conventional learning models and
methods completely. Teachers are not used to implementing
innovative learning models and methods so students tend to
feel bored and less interested in social studies lessons. Apart
from that, the assessment is more focused on the final
assessment, not the process assessment. This condition is
alleged to have a negative influence on students' learning
outcomes and achievement motivation.
 Solution
The solution to the problem of low learning outcomes is to use
a quantum learning learning model assisted by performance
assessments. The use of appropriate learning models can
increase student motivation in learning and the success of
social studies education learning is determined by the
teacher's creativity in choosing learning models so that
students are actively involved and educational interaction
occurs during the learning process. The use of assessment
also has an influence, where the assessment should assess the
process, not just the final result.

 Anticipation
Anticipations that can be taken to prevent
wastage of time and passive actions of students
in the learning process are by using classroom
management skills well so that all students play
an active role and can also get closer to
students to find out the character and hobbies
of students in class.
 2nd
problem
 Problem
Social studies learning given to elementary school children still
faces various obstacles or problems, so that the main goal of
social studies cannot be realized. Based onThe results of
research conducted on teachers in class VI at SDN Arcamanik
02 show that there are problems that occur when
implementing social studies content learning. The problem is
that students have difficulty understanding the concept of
social studies material (Regiani, et al., 2023).
Causative factor

Several factors that cause this problem are teaching

approaches that do not suit students' learning styles, whether
in the choice of models, methods or learning media. Apart
from that, the lack of supporting facilities can also cause
students to have difficulty understanding the concepts of
social studies material.
 Solution
For this reason, the solution that can be used is that teachers
must be able to choose a learning approach that suits
students' learning styles and the school and the government
must collaborate in providing learning facilities to support the
teaching and learning process.
 Advantages
This solution will be effective in increasing elementary school students'
understanding of social studies learning concepts. This is because this solution
has several advantages, including being able to increase students' learning
motivation or interest in learning about social studies learning concepts and
being able to increase students' understanding of the concepts of the material
being taught.
Disadvantages

However, apart from having advantages,

this solution also has several
disadvantages that can affect the
teaching and learning process. These
disadvantages are the high costs of
providing facilities, and also the difficulty
of teachers choosing learning
approaches that suit the different
learning styles or characters of students.
 Anticipate Disadvantages
Therefore, it is necessary to anticipate to face possible weaknesses
that arise from the solutions that have been provided. Several things
that can be done to anticipate this happening are that the teacher
must carefully observe the classroom situation to find out the
character of each student, so that it can be easier for the teacher to
determine the most effective approach to use. Apart from that, to
anticipate high costs in providing learning facilities, schools can
collaborate with external parties and utilize local resources such as
regional libraries.

PROBLEM
Social studies learning is a form of integrative learning that is
applied in elementary schools. The integration of several
scientific disciplines into one subject creates obstacles for social
studies teachers. Based on the results of interviews conducted
with several social studies teachers from seven different
schools, it shows that the problem with social studies learning is
the students' disruptive behavior.
Universitas
Salford 04
Causative factor

If seen from the student's perspective, this condition is

caused by a lack of student interest in learning social
studies. According to several students, the method used by
the teacher was one of the causes. Social studies teachers
mostly use lecture methods which make students bored
and sleepy, especially when social studies lessons are
placed in the last hour. Other students stated that the
teacher scolded students more than providing motivation.
Apart from that, the note-taking assignments given by
teachers are often too many so students become lazy to
complete them.
 Universitas

Solution
Disruptive behavior is bad behavior, as a teacher it is your
duty to straighten out wrong things. Where as a teacher,
instead of giving punishment, you should provide motivation
to increase student learning motivation.

Solution
As a teacher, you not only act as a facilitator, the teacher must
also be able to be a guide for his students. By approaching
the child to find out the reason the child is carrying out
disruptive behavior.

1. Improving the quality of teaching, this means teachers can build

interesting and relevant activities, such as projects, roles and discussions,
which can make learning more integrated
2. Increasing teacher motivation, increasing teacher motivation can be
done through professional education, competency development, and
increasing proficiency in teaching social studies.
3. Using disruptive behavior strategies, teachers can use disruptive
behavior strategies to overcome disruptive behavior. This strategy can
involve three approaches, namely behavioral, cognitive and humanistic.

 04

Anticipate the second solution

Anticipate the weaknesses of this solution, namely that teachers can

improve character development. Teachers are role models for
students, therefore it is necessary to develop the character of teachers
and students. Students will follow the teacher without thinking about
the level of faith and usefulness. Therefore, the attitude of teachers
who have character is an example for their students.

 1st Solution (Coperative Learning)
Cooperative learning is a form of learning by how students learn
and work in small groups collaboratively with a heterogeneous
group structure. That is, the study groups arranged must be
diverse and indiscriminate. this can make student dividing their
work with their friends and it will make it easyer for them
 2nd Solution (Game Methode)
simply this methode is learning with playing, idf wee are on the
elementary scholl wich is the student is still love to play a games
this methode is suitable, dont forget to chose a game that suitable
fot the material, and also can include all the people in class
 3rd Solution (Make them fall in love )
teacher is allways want to make them understand the material,
but mostly teacher forget to make the student fall in love with the
course, is the student is allready fall in love with the course, any
kind of methode will be attractive to them, not because the
methode but because they learn something that they love.

Disadvantages
There is an imbalance in the distribution of duties and
responsibilities between group members. Sometimes,
some dominant students may take over the entire
assignment or passive group members do not
contribute fully. This can reduce the effectiveness of
cooperative learning in achieving learning objectives.
