Menegosiasikan Harmoni Melalui Kuliner: Simbolisme Lontong Cap Go Meh dalam Perayaan Grebeg Sudiro di Surakarta
Grebeg Sudiro celebration in Surakarta represents a harmonious coexistence between the Javanese and Chinese communities, born of a post-conflict collective consciousness. This study aims to uncover the symbolic meaning and cultural negotiation process through the Lontong Cap Go Meh culinary dish as a means of fostering intercultural harmony. This study uses a qualitative method with a cultural approach to analyze various cross-disciplinary literature data through the framework of Ernest E. Boesch's Symbolic Action Theory. The results show that Lontong Cap Go Meh is not simply a consumer product, but rather a symbolic act that represents acculturation through the adaptation of local ingredients, cooking techniques, and an inclusive presentation philosophy. This culinary dish functions as a medium of negotiation that dissolves ethnic boundaries and becomes a non-verbal communication language to rebuild the image of the Chinese community in public spaces. The conclusion of the study confirms that Lontong Cap Go Meh serves as a symbol of openness that actively communicates messages of harmony and social integration for a more stable future for a multicultural society in Surakarta.

Modal Sosial Kyai dalam Penguatan Mitigasi Bencana Rob pada Masyarakat Pesisir Desa Purwosari Demak
Tidal flooding has become an increasingly prevalent phenomenon due to climate change and has significant impacts on the social and economic activities of coastal communities. The intensity of recurring tidal flooding events causes increased vulnerability and requires a mitigation strategy that not only focuses on physical aspects (hard structure), but also emphasizes the development of understanding (soft structure). This study aims to analyze the role of the Kyai’s social capital in mitigating tidal flood disasters through enhancing community understanding in Purwosari Village. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method to gain an in-depth understanding of the social dynamics within the community. Data collection techniques include observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews with informants selected based on specific criteria, namely the Kyai of Purwosari Village, disaster preparedness analysts from the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), and the Purwosari community. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The results of the study indicate that Kyai plays a strategic role in conveying disaster mitigation messages through a religious approach based on trust, social networks, and norms. This form of social capital contributes to shaping collective awareness in protecting the environment and strengthening social solidarity in the community in facing tidal flooding. Furthermore, the community develops various adaptive strategies in response to continuously changing environmental conditions. Thus, soft structure based mitigation through the Kyai’s social capital contributes to enhancing the adaptive capacity and resilience of the Purwosari Village community to tidal flood disasters.

Model Pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe STAD untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Kolaboratif dan Self-Efficacy pada Pembelajaran IPS
This research is motivated by the low level of collaborative skills and self-efficacy of students in social studies learning due to the dominance of conventional methods that are not aligned with the multidimensional and interpretive epistemology of social studies. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD) cooperative learning model in improving students' collaborative skills and self-efficacy in social studies learning, specifically on the topic of Social Conflict and Integration. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design. The population was eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 2 Sidoarjo, with two classes selected using purposive sampling: an experimental class (n=37) using the STAD model and a control class (n=37) using a simple cooperative model. The research instruments included a collaborative skills observation sheet and a self-efficacy questionnaire that had been validated. Data analysis techniques used the Independent Sample T-Test and N-Gain test. The results showed that the STAD model was significantly more effective than the simple cooperative model. The mean post-test score for collaborative skills in the experimental class (78.00) was higher than that of the control class (75.11), with a significance value of 0.000 (p<0.05). The mean post-test score for self-efficacy in the experimental class (87.11) was also much higher than that of the control class (69.46) (p<0.05). The N-Gain test confirmed the effectiveness of the STAD model in the moderate to high category for both variables. This study concludes that the integration of the STAD cooperative learning model is effective in simultaneously improving students' collaborative skills and self-efficacy. It provides a theoretical contribution to the development of learning models based on social and cognitive constructivism, as well as a practical contribution for social studies teachers in implementing innovative 21st-century learning.

Social Media Use, Adolescent Emotion Regulation Factors, and Islamic Counseling Constructs: A Systematic Literature Review
This study presents a systematic literature review of recent scientific evidence on the relationship between social media use and adolescent emotion regulation. It also identifies the factors that shape this relationship and proposes Islamic counseling as a conceptual framework for promoting healthy digital behavior. The review followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and examined Scopus-indexed publications published between 2021 and 2026. The literature search used two primary keyword combinations: “social media emotion regulation adolescents” and “adolescent emotion regulation social media,” supported by Boolean combinations related to social media, digital media, emotion regulation, emotion dysregulation, and adolescents. From 608 initial records, 171 duplicates, 93 articles outside the publication period, 67 articles published in journals outside Q1–Q3 categories, and 15 articles without abstracts were excluded. Following title and abstract screening, 187 articles were removed, while 22 reports could not be retrieved. A total of 53 studies were included in the final narrative-thematic synthesis. The findings indicate that social media is associated with adolescent emotion regulation through communication, self-expression, social support, self-validation, identity formation, social comparison, and emotional coping. This relationship is influenced by self-control, impulsivity, emotional intelligence, body esteem, family support, peer pressure, cyberbullying, fear of missing out, platform algorithms, and mental health conditions. Islamic counseling can be conceptualized through self-reflection, self-purification, patience, self-control, self-acceptance, digital ethics, moral responsibility, relational support, and inner peace. This review contributes to the development of Islamic guidance and counseling by providing a value-based conceptual response to adolescents’ emotional challenges in digital environments.

Strategi Pengembangan Budaya Literasi Sekolah: Studi Kasus di MIN 6 Tangerang
Literacy culture is an important aspect of improving the quality of learning and shaping students' character in elementary schools. However, low reading interest and various challenges in implementing the School Literacy Movement (Gerakan Literasi Sekolah [GLS]) remain issues faced by many educational institutions. This study aims to describe the strategies for developing a literacy culture at MIN 6 Tangerang Regency, identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in the implementation of literacy programs, and analyze their impact on students. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research participants consisted of the principal, vice principal for curriculum affairs, classroom teachers, and students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and then analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation, technique triangulation, and time triangulation. The findings reveal that the literacy culture development strategy at MIN 6 Tangerang Regency is implemented through the stages of habituation, development, and learning. The habituation stage includes 15-minute reading activities before lessons, the Wednesday Reading Movement (GERCA), and the utilization of reading corners. The development stage is carried out through various literacy activities, such as storytelling, poetry recitation, speech contests, pildacil (Islamic preaching for children), and writing activities, while the learning stage integrates literacy into the teaching and learning process. Supporting factors include the principal’s commitment, teacher involvement, parental support, and the availability of literacy facilities. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors consist of limited reading materials, excessive use of digital media, and differences in students’ reading abilities. The literacy program positively contributes to the improvement of students’ reading interest, learning motivation, discipline, responsibility, and communication skills.

Dinamika Eksplorasi Karier Mahasiswa: Peran Dukungan Sosial Orang Tua dan Status Sosial Ekonomi
University students are in the emerging adulthood phase, characterized by increasing demands to prepare for careers and determine future directions. However, the high unemployment rate among university graduates in Indonesia indicates that students' career readiness remains suboptimal. One critical process in career preparation is career exploration, defined as the process of gathering information about oneself and the work environment to support career decision-making. This study aims to examine the influence of parental social support and family socioeconomic status on university students' career exploration. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was employed, involving 205 active undergraduate students selected through purposive sampling. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine the relationships among the research variables. The results indicate that parental social support and family socioeconomic status simultaneously exert a significant influence on students' career exploration (R² = 0.185; F = 22.957; p < .001), jointly accounting for 18.5% of the variance in career exploration. These findings suggest that psychosocial support from parents plays a more dominant role than family economic conditions in shaping students' career exploration.

Biografi Tokoh Lokal sebagai Sumber Belajar IPS: Studi Nilai Kewirausahaan pada Kisah Siti Lailatul Barokah
The role of women in sustaining family economic resilience has become increasingly significant, particularly within small-scale and informal economic sectors. However, narratives of women's struggles and achievements in building economic independence are rarely utilized as contextual learning resources in schools. This study aims to analyze the life journey and economic struggles of Siti Lailatul Barokah as a female entrepreneur and to examine the educational values embedded in her biography that can be used as learning resources for Social Studies (IPS) at the junior high school level. This research employs a qualitative approach using a biographical method. Data were collected through documentation studies of the biographical book, interviews, and relevant literature reviews. Data analysis was conducted using an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the life journey of Siti Lailatul Barokah reflects the dynamic struggle of women in developing economic resilience through perseverance, risk-taking, adaptability, and the ability to recognize business opportunities within their social environment. Furthermore, her life story contains educational values such as independence, responsibility, persistence, and entrepreneurial spirit, which are relevant to be developed as learning resources in junior high school Social Studies. Therefore, the biography of local figures can serve as contextual learning material that not only enriches students' knowledge but also instills character values and a deeper understanding of economic activities within society.

Pola Interaksi Sosial Generasi Alpha di Kota Semarang pada Era Society 5.0
Changes in the way the Alpha Generation socializes are not only seen in their closeness to gadgets, but also in how they move conversations between home, school, and digital spaces. This study aims to describe the social interaction patterns of the Alpha Generation in Semarang City in the Society 5.0 era from students’ perspectives, as well as to identify the factors that influence them. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach with a multisite case study design. The informants consisted of eight eighth-grade students from four schools with different characteristics: a public junior high school, a state Islamic junior high school, a national private junior high school, and an internationally oriented private junior high school. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing, and verification. The analysis used Soerjono Soekanto’s concept of social interaction, which places social contact and communication as the main requirements for social interaction. The findings show that the social interaction patterns of the Alpha Generation are hybrid. Direct social contact appears in family communication, peer interaction at school, group work, and conflict resolution, while indirect social contact occurs through WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Discord, Roblox, and online games. Digital communication helps students maintain relationships and continue conversations after school, but it also creates misunderstandings because written messages do not fully show tone, expression, and intention. These findings indicate that technology expands students’ interaction spaces but does not replace their need for face-to-face communication.

Disabilitas Intelektual: Masalah dan Penyelesaiannya dalam Pembelajaran IPS di Kota Singaraja (Studi Kasus di SMP Negeri 5 Singaraja)
Inclusive education demands an equitable system for all learners, including students with intellectual disabilities who frequently face difficulties in Social Studies (IPS) due to its abstract concepts. This study aims to identify learning difficulties, analyze teachers' adaptive strategies, map obstacles, and describe the success of interventions in Social Studies learning. This qualitative research applied a holistic-integrative case study design at SMP Negeri 5 Singaraja. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The primary challenges included limited attention span, difficulties in processing technical vocabulary, and challenges in understanding complex instructions. Teachers' adaptive strategies involved: (1) shifting from lectures to digital visual media (YouTube and TikTok); (2) simplifying the curriculum through content differentiation; and (3) implementing structural interventions through the Program Akselerasi Kecepatan dan Usaha Baca (PACU) in synergy with Undiksha students. The main obstacle was the time management dilemma between regular curriculum administration and intensive special needs assistance. The success of interventions was evidenced by reduced cognitive load, increased motivation, social independence, basic literacy, and solid collaboration with parents. The integration of visual media, material simplification, and systemic support (PACU program and university synergy) is proven effective in mitigating learning barriers and improving adaptive behavioral functions of intellectually disabled students.

Pengaruh Metode Project Based Learning terhadap Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Siswa di SDN Legok II Tangerang
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh penerapan model Project Based Learning (PjBL) terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa kelas V sekolah dasar pada mata pelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam dan Sosial (IPAS). Penelitian dilakukan karena kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa masih relatif rendah, yang diduga dipengaruhi oleh praktik pembelajaran konvensional yang belum sepenuhnya mendorong peserta didik untuk menganalisis informasi, mengevaluasi permasalahan, serta menemukan solusi secara mandiri. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode quasi eksperimen melalui desain non-equivalent control group. Subjek penelitian dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu kelas eksperimen yang memperoleh pembelajaran berbasis PjBL dan kelas kontrol yang mengikuti pembelajaran konvensional. Data diperoleh melalui tes kemampuan berpikir kritis yang telah memenuhi persyaratan validitas dan reliabilitas. Analisis data mencakup uji normalitas, homogenitas, Independent Sample t-test, serta perhitungan N-Gain. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan awal kedua kelompok relatif sama, ditunjukkan oleh rata-rata nilai pretest kelas eksperimen sebesar 56,75 dan kelas kontrol 56,31. Setelah perlakuan diberikan, rata-rata nilai posttest kelas eksperimen meningkat menjadi 88,22, sedangkan kelas kontrol mencapai 78,78. Pengujian hipotesis menghasilkan nilai signifikansi 0,000 (<0,05), yang mengindikasikan adanya pengaruh signifikan penerapan Project Based Learning terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa. Temuan ini diperkuat oleh nilai N-Gain kelas eksperimen sebesar 75,06 yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelas kontrol sebesar 51,58. Dengan demikian, model Project Based Learning terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa sekolah dasar dan dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif pembelajaran yang mendukung pengembangan keterampilan abad ke-21 melalui kegiatan berbasis proyek dan penyelesaian masalah yang kontekstual.

Rationality of Wali Songo's Da'wa in the Spread of Islam in Nusantara: A Critique of Mystical Narratives
The dominance of mystical and mythological narratives in the public discourse surrounding the Wali Songo has created an epistemological bias that obscures their intellectual and strategic dimensions during the Islamization of the Nusantara. This phenomenon leads to “decontextualized spiritual personalization,” where these figures are more frequently understood through miracles rather than their actual contributions as social and educational architects. This study aims to deconstruct these mystical myths while reconstructing the rational foundations of the Wali Songo’s da'wah, which are rooted in knowledge, culture, and diplomacy. This research employs a qualitative-descriptive method with a comprehensive historical analysis approach, involving heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography of classical texts and modern academic literature. The results reveal that the Wali Songo’s success was rooted in systematic da'wah strategies, including: (1) the institutionalization of education via the pesantren model; (2) dialogic cultural acculturation; (3) political-economic diplomacy; and (4) inclusive social transformation. These findings assert that the Wali Songo were not merely sacred figures, but agents of intellectual transformation who established the groundwork for modern, critical, and moderate Islamic education in Indonesia.

Relevansi Sekolah Terbuka terhadap Pemikiran Ivan Illich tentang Pendidikan dalam Deschooling of Society
This study is motivated by the state of education in Indonesia, which remains inaccessible to all segments of society facing various limitations. Ivan Illich’s book Deschooling Society introduces a new perspective: that education is not limited to formal schools but is also acquired through the environment and habits formed from an early age. The book was written against a social backdrop that closely mirrors the state of education in Indonesia. The research method employed for this article is descriptive qualitative. The sources used for this research include literature reviews, interviews, and Ivan Illich’s book Deschooling of Society. Data analysis employs the Miles and Huberman interactive model. This article demonstrates the relevance between Ivan Illich’s ideas and open schools. Open schools serve as a solution for students who have dropped out due to economic constraints, limited transportation, and a social and cultural environment that does not support access to education. Open schools offer flexible learning schedules—conducted on specific days—while still granting the same diplomas as formal schools. The educational monopoly criticized by Ivan Illich in his book can be addressed through the existence of open schools. Although there are differences in practice—such as Ivan Illich’s rejection of diploma recognition, the abolition of formal education, and the methods used in learning—open schools provide a viable alternative.

Implementasi Program Literasi Al-Qur’an sebagai Strategi Pembentukan Karakter pada Siswa MTs. Zia Salsabila Deli Serdang
This study aims to analyse the implementation of the Quranic literacy program as a strategy for character building for students at MTs Zia Salsabila, covering aspects of planning, implementation, and evaluation. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analysed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The results of the study indicate that the Quranic literacy program was planned systematically and sustainably to improve students' ability to read the Quran and shape their religious character. It is implemented routinely every morning through structured activities involving students and teachers as supervisors. Evaluation shows that approximately 70% of students have achieved the target, although some students still struggle to perform optimally. Overall, the Quranic literacy program makes a positive contribution to the formation of student character, especially in aspects of discipline, responsibility, and religiosity. In addition to improving the ability to read the Quran, this program also builds a school culture conducive to strengthening spiritual values, developing disciplined learning habits, and complying with madrasah regulations. The involvement of all teachers in the supervision process demonstrates institutional collaboration that supports the program's success. Research findings also indicate that successful character building is determined not only by routine activities but also by the management system, regular evaluations, and parental support in guiding students at home. Therefore, the Quranic literacy program can be positioned as a relevant and sustainable character education strategy to address the challenges of adolescent moral development in the digital age.

Artificial Intelligence dan Kesadaran Kritis Siswa dalam Pembelajaran Sejarah: Analisis Perspektif Paulo Freire
This study aims to identify the forms and patterns of students' AI use in history learning, explore students' perceptions of its benefits and risks, assess students' level of critical consciousness in interacting with AI, and interpret the findings through Paulo Freire's concepts of conscientização, banking education, and dialogical education. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with critical interpretation, conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Abung Kunang during the even semester of the 2025/2026 academic year, involving 50 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via Google Form containing Likert-scale closed questions and open-ended questions, then analyzed using simple descriptive statistics and qualitative interpretation based on Freire's perspective. The findings reveal that most students routinely use AI through platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini AI, and Meta AI to search for information, summarize materials, and complete assignments. While students acknowledge AI's benefits in accelerating comprehension, habits of verifying information and comparing sources remain low. The majority of students fall within the naive consciousness stage in Freire's framework, capable of articulating AI-related risks verbally but unable to translate this awareness into consistent critical behavior. The passive and result-oriented pattern of AI use is identified as reproducing the logic of banking education, while the principles of conscientização and dialogical education have yet to be genuinely realized. This study underscores the necessity of integrating critical AI literacy into history learning to foster students' authentic critical consciousness.

School-Based Mental Health Literacy Interventions in Guidance and Counseling Services: Ecological Determinants, Barriers, and Outcomes
The numerous cases of adolescent mental health disorders that go undetected and are poorly handled are currently an urgent issue in education. This study aims to examine the urgency of improving students' mental health literacy through counselling services at SMP Negeri 20 Surakarta, while identifying main constraints in its implementation. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach, collecting data through direct observation and in-depth interviews with Guidance and Counselling teachers focusing on seventh-grade students. Data analysis is conducted using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes three steps: data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The results show that mental health literacy education at SMP Negeri 20 Surakarta remains minimal, unprogrammed, and lacks adequate learning resources. This condition is worsened by psychological barriers where students prefer to internalise their emotional problems rather than consult. The combination of limited programs and students' closed attitudes causes school mental health handling to be less effective. This study concludes that the services provided by BK teachers are not yet optimal due to the absence of standard literacy guidelines. Consequently, the school requires changes toward a more open, adolescent-friendly counselling system, with full support from school management and parents.

Peran Media Sosial sebagai Sarana Pengembangan Kompetensi Lintas Budaya Mahasiswa
This study was motivated by the high use of social media among university students, which has the potential to support the development of cross-cultural competence in the digital era. Cross-cultural competence is an essential skill that enables students to interact effectively in an increasingly diverse society. This study aims to describe the level of social media utilization, the level of students’ cross-cultural competence, and the role of social media as a medium that supports the development of cross-cultural competence. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed with a sample of 79 students selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics through mean and percentage calculations. The findings revealed that social media utilization was categorized as high with a mean score of 3.94, while students’ cross-cultural competence was also categorized as high with a mean score of 4.02. The highest indicator of social media utilization was the use of social media to obtain information about other cultures (4.24), whereas the highest indicator of cross-cultural competence was respect for cultural differences (4.39). The findings indicate that social media has the potential to serve as a learning resource that supports the expansion of cultural awareness, strengthens appreciation of diversity, and enhances students’ readiness to interact with individuals from different cultural backgrounds. The study implies the importance of utilizing social media as a learning medium to strengthen multicultural values in Social Studies Education.

Peran Sekolah Dasar dalam Menumbuhkembangkan Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat pada Siswa di MIN 6 Tangerang
Clean and Healthy Living Behaviour (PHBS) is one of the important efforts in instilling healthy living habits in elementary school students. However, studies on PHBS in schools generally focus more on the role of teachers or school health programs, so the involvement of the entire school community has not been comprehensively examined. This study aims to describe the role of elementary schools in fostering PHBS among students at MIN 6 Tangerang. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological type. The research informants consist of the principal, teachers, administrative staff, cleaning staff, and students selected purposively. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and then analysed through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The study results indicate that the implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behaviour (PHBS) at MIN 6 Tangerang is carried out through the active involvement of all school members. The principal plays a role in policy formulation and facility provision, teachers contribute to education, habituation, and role modelling, while administrative and cleaning staff support the creation of a clean and healthy school environment. In addition, adequate facilities and various school programs support the formation of clean and healthy living habits among students.

Bukan Sekadar Tempat Ngopi: Pemaknaan Subjektif Mahasiswa terhadap Coffee Shop di Kawasan Dago sebagai Informal Learning Space
The rapid growth of coffee shops in Indonesia, particularly in the Dago area of Bandung, has transformed these spaces from mere consumption sites into informal learning spaces for university students. Although research on coffee shops and students continues to develop, studies examining how students subjectively construct meaning around coffee shops as alternative learning spaces through the lens of Interaksionisme simbolik remain limited, especially in the specific context of Dago. This study aims to analyze in depth how students construct meaning around coffee shops in the Dago area as alternative learning spaces outside campus, using Blumer's Interaksionisme simbolik perspective. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven active students from Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia and one barista, as well as non-participant observation at three coffee shops in the Dago area, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The findings show that students' meaning-making of coffee shops as informal learning spaces occurs through three interrelated processes: the formation of a definition of the situation through physical symbols such as laptops and earphones, the construction of meaning through layered social interaction with fellow students, social media, and baristas, and the negotiation and modification of meaning through space appropriation practices and shifting collective discourse over time. These findings confirm that coffee shops in the Dago area are not merely a neutral backdrop, but an actively constructed social arena that extends students' learning space beyond the boundaries of formal institutions.

Aktualisasi Metode Sosio-Drama Sejarah untuk Melatih Kemampuan Berpikir Sejarah: Representasi Pendekatan Transformatif
A history curriculum dominated by a single narrative tends to ignore the importance of source analysis, context, and causal relationships in history. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the socio-drama method as a representation of a transformative approach to training historical thinking skills. This study uses a qualitative approach with a single case study design at SMA Negeri 6 Yogyakarta. The subjects of this study were the 11th grade history teacher and 6 11th grade students. Data collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, document studies, and enriched literature studies were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. This study produced three important findings, including: (1) The socio-drama model was implemented through three main stages, namely the pre-conception stage, collaborative inquiry, and socio-drama staging stage. To ensure collaboration, there was a division of roles in the form of scriptwriter, narrator, actor, and director adjusted to the characteristics of the students; and (2) Students' perspectives on history changed from rote learning to meaning making; and (3) Implications for historical thinking skills were demonstrated through chronological thinking skills, historical understanding, analysis and interpretation, and historical research skills. The contribution of this research can be a reference for history teachers to develop a transformative approach in history learning, especially training historical thinking skills in order to improve the quality of learning.
