Abstrak

Social studies is one that is taught at all levels of education, one of which is elementary school level, with grade levels ranging from grade I to grade VI. Social studies learning aims to develop the potential of students to be sensitive to social problems that occur in the community, have a positive mental attitude towards the improvement of all inequalities that occur, and to be skilled in handling any problems that occur daily both those affecting themselves and those affecting the community. To achieve the objectives of social studies learning, the teacher must be creative in using innovative learning models and instructional media. The teacher is also required to be able to convey the material as interesting as possible, so students can easily understand the material.
