SHEM (Society, Humanity, Equality, Morality): A New Perspective in Learning History

Abstract

The development of historical studies with a multidimensional and interdisciplinary approach in Indonesia towards the end of the 20th century has not yet been accommodated in the process of learning history in schools. So far, one of the main objectives of the history subject is to raise awareness in students as part of the Indonesian nation that has nationalism, empathy and tolerant behavior by instilling character values directly through examples. This turned out to be ineffective because it was not in accordance with the moral development of high school students who had reached the conventional stage. Based on these conditions, this research was conducted with the aim of providing new alternatives in history learning, especially for character education through analysis from a sociological point of view of events. The method used in this research is qualitative research methods with data collection techniques in the form of questionnaires and interviews. The data obtained were analyzed through three stages, namely the stage of data reduction, data display, and conclusions. The results of this study recommend the use of sociological concepts in historical explanation for learning in schools so that the internalization process of character education is carried out optimally and allows the growth of critical thinking skills in assessing historical events.
