EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE LEARNING WITH THE LEARNING COMMUNITY MODEL

Abstract

The learning process at schools often feels monotonous, with students remaining passive and unenthusiastic about the lessons delivered by the teacher. Teachers frequently experience boredom as there are no significant changes in the students or improvement in the learning outcomes. Teachers tend to dominate the classroom, and during the learning process, they usually do not provide opportunities for students to actively participate. Social Science lessons are often reduced to mere memorization to meet the prescribed curriculum. Teachers get stuck in a static lecture-based teaching method without employing varied approaches, which creates barriers in Social Science education. Consequently, student engagement and potential development in learning are low, resulting in subpar learning outcomes and ineffective mechanisms.
