At the elementary school level, social science learning is related to social science disciplines integrated with other knowledge and packaged scientifically for learning purposes [2]. Based on the Competency Standards and Basic Competencies for elementary schools in the Regulation of the Minister of National Education Number 22 of 2006 concerning content standards for elementary and secondary education units, social science is defined as a subject that examines a set of events, facts, concepts, and generalizations related to social issues. The content of social science lessons is designed to develop knowledge, understanding, and analytical skills on the community's social conditions to enter social life [3]. The hope of learning social science is that children become responsible, democratic, and peace-loving citizens [4]. With the existence of social science education, children are expected to have a strong soul and spirit of supporting and carrying out national development . It aligns with the social science learning objectives, namely, to develop basic knowledge and skills useful for students in everyday life and as a provision to continue education to a higher level ISTED 2021, July 17-18, Purwokerto, Indonesia Copyright © 2021 EAI DOI 10.4108/eai.17-7-2021.2312387
