Abstract

This research aims to explore and analyze the implementation of active learning methods in increasing students' interest and understanding in history lessons at SMAN 14 Medan. Active learning methods are used as the main approach to presenting historical material to students. Research was conducted by collecting qualitative and quantitative data from students involved in the active learning process. The research results show that the implementation of active learning methods is effective in increasing students' interest in history lessons and increasing their understanding of the material being taught. These findings underline the importance of using interactive and participation-based learning methods to strengthen the learning process in schools. The implications of this research provide a basis for the development of more effective learning strategies in the context of history learning in high schools. However, the implementation of active learning methods depends not only on the type of activity carried out but also on the teacher's pedagogical skills in designing and implementing interactive learning. Therefore, continued support for developing teacher skills in using active learning methods is the key to success in improving the quality of history learning at SMAN 14 Medan. Thus, this research provides a valuable contribution to our understanding of the importance of active learning methods in increasing students' interest in and understanding of history lessons. Continuous efforts are needed to expand the use of these methods and overcome challenges that may arise in their implementation, so as to create more meaningful and valuable learning experiences for students in understanding their historical heritage.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the challenges faced by history teachers in integrating information technology into the history teaching process, as well as identify effective strategies to overcome these challenges. The research method used is interviews and observations of a number of history teachers who have actively used information technology in their teaching. The research results show that some of the main challenges faced by history teachers include limited access to technology, uncertainty in selecting appropriate digital content, and a lack of adequate training in the application of technology. However, the research also identified several effective strategies that history teachers have used to overcome these challenges, including ongoing training and professional development, collaboration between teachers to share resources and experiences, and adapting curricula to account for technology integration. The implication of this research is the need for greater support from schools and the government in providing adequate access to technology and contextual training for history teachers so that they can effectively integrate information technology into history learning. The implementation of the strategies adopted by history teachers at SMA 14 shows their commitment to overcoming the challenges of integrating technology in history learning. In the face of limited access to technology, teachers have been active in utilizing training and professional development to improve their skills in using technology. Collaboration between teachers also provides a platform for sharing experiences and ideas for facing common challenges. Curriculum adjustments are the main basis for ensuring that history learning remains relevant and interesting for students in this digital era. By utilizing technology in lesson plans and developing interactive learning materials, teachers have created a dynamic and student-oriented learning environment. The impact of this strategy can be seen in increasing students' understanding of historical material and their skills in using technology.

Abstract

This research aims to explore a multicultural approach to teaching history at SMAN 14 Medan, especially in a multiethnic context. The multicultural approach here refers to the integration of various ethnic perspectives into the history curriculum to increase understanding and respect for cultural diversity. This study was conducted using qualitative methods and data collection techniques through classroom observations, interviews and document analysis. The research results show that the application of a multicultural approach to history learning at SMAN 14 Medan has helped students understand and appreciate cultural differences, as well as increasing student involvement in the learning process. Key success factors include teacher training, teaching materials relevant to multiethnic contexts, and an inclusive learning atmosphere. The implication of this research is the importance of applying a multicultural approach to history learning to enrich students' learning experiences in a multiethnic context. It is hoped that this research can contribute to the development of a more inclusive history curriculum in ethnically diverse schools. By understanding and appreciating cultural diversity, students are equipped with the skills necessary to interact effectively in a multiethnic environment. Teachers, as facilitators, have a key role in creating a supportive learning environment for all students, thereby creating valuable and relevant learning experiences. This research also highlights several limitations, such as the research being limited to one school and the qualitative approach used. Therefore, further research involving a number of schools and using quantitative methods can provide a broader understanding of the effectiveness of a multicultural approach in teaching history.Applying a multicultural approach to history learning not only benefits students academically but also helps prepare them to live and work in an increasingly multicultural society. Thus, inclusive and multicultural history learning is not only relevant in an educational context but is also important for building an inclusive and tolerant society in the future.
