Trends in Educational Research about Social Attitudes Education and Learning: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Until now, learning is still focused on the cognitive realm only. One aspect that is often neglected is social attitudes, which are part of the affective aspect that has an essential role in social life. The limited number of researchers who touch on this area makes reference sources of social attitudes still limited. This study is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA model. This model is considered a reasonably comprehensive model because it has four main stages: identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion. Researchers collected data from various open access data sources such as Google Scholar, Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, ERIC, Researchgate.net, Academia.com, and Sciencedirect.com. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using content analysis techniques in obtaining an overview of trends and implications of research on education and learning social attitudes over the past ten years. The results showed that there were only 14 articles that met the criteria for further analysis. The fourteen articles discuss several main research topics, such as (1) improving students' social attitudes through learning models/approaches/methods, (2) learning social attitudes in the context of inclusive education, (3) developing and validating social attitude instruments, and so on other. These findings indicate the need for further and more comprehensive research on learning social attitudes so that this aspect is increasingly understood by various elements of education as an aspect that is as important as the cognitive aspect.
