1 Introduction
Social science is a simplification or adaptation of social science disciplines and basic
human activities, which are organized scientifically for educational purposes [1]. 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
