Local history online learning strategies: teacher’s perception

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the appropriate strategy in teaching local history according to the teacher’s perception. Usually, local history learning is done directly by making visits to historical places so that it can build a complete picture of an event. However, when learning is being carried out at home, the teacher must be able to determine how to properly teach local history online. This study used a case study research design by taking cases that occurred in the province of DKI Jakarta. Data were collected from history teachers who were involved in history teacher forums and conducted online through interviews and observations via online videos. The results of this study indicate that local history learning can be done online by providing information to students on online site addresses related to local history in DKI Jakarta cultural heritage sites. Hands-on practice carried out by students can help students think critically and give them awareness about the importance of knowing the local history around them to see the world comprehensively.
