Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of utilizing a local historical site, Candi Deres, as a learning resource to enhance students’ motivation and critical thinking skills in Social Studies (IPS) at SMPN 2 Gumukmas, Jember Regency, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through literature review, participatory observation, in-depth interviews, open-ended questionnaires, and focus group discussions (FGD). Data analysis was conducted through stages of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification, using content analysis, discourse analysis, and interpretive analysis methods. The findings reveal that integrating Candi Deres into the learning process significantly increases student engagement and motivation, fosters reflective inquiry, cultivates cultural awareness, and promotes critical thinking regarding socio-historical contexts. Furthermore, the study highlights a pedagogical transformation among teachers, who began to adopt more contextual and collaborative teaching strategies. This research underscores the importance of place-based and culturally rooted education as a relevant and strategic approach to implementing the Merdeka Curriculum and strengthening students' character development. The theoretical and practical implications contribute to enriching Social Studies pedagogy oriented toward local wisdom and 21st-century competencies.

Abstract

Deres Temple is a historical testament to the journey of Majapahit in East Java. Although not as famous as the others, Deres Temple is a valuable investment for social science learning. Located in the Gumuk Mas sub-district, several schools serve as educational institutions. Deres Temple serves as empirical evidence for social science learning, particularly regarding kingdoms in the archipelago. As an effort to bridge theoretical concepts, Deres Temple's existence is growing. The potential of Deres Temple is explored based on the spirit of intellectual values, which are integrated into discussions of student curiosity and the preservation of Deres Temple. With knowledge, teachers can explore Deres Temple's potential as a teaching medium that is easily accessible to students. Deres Temple's potential is explored for educational purposes. The subjects of this study were students of Gumuk Mas Junior High School. Thus, Deres Temple is very representative for exploring its potential to achieve learning objectives. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through participatory observation, interviews, and documentation. The data obtained were analyzed in three stages. More than 80% of the students involved showed active participation by asking questions related to Candi Deres. This paper contributes to the field by demonstrating how Deres Temple can be integrated as an accessible, context-based learning resource that enhances student curiosity and supports social science education through active engagement with local historical heritage.
