Abstract

Social Studies in elementary schools plays an important role in shaping students' character, knowledge, and social skills from an early age. This article examines the philosophical, sociological, pedagogical, and psychological foundations underlying the development of social studies in elementary schools through a literature review. The research was conducted by reviewing 20 recent academic sources (2020–2025) relevant to elementary school social studies education. The results show that the philosophical foundation determines the scope and objectives through ontological, epistemological, and axiological aspects. The sociological foundation highlights the relationship between the social studies curriculum and social dynamics and community needs. The pedagogical foundation focuses on learning strategies that are appropriate to the developmental characteristics of students. The psychological foundation ensures that learning is in line with children's cognitive, affective, and socio-emotional development. These findings emphasize the importance of a comprehensive approach based on the four foundations of education to realize contextual and meaningful social studies learning that supports the achievement of national education goals.

Abstract

Remedial and enrichment activities in elementary schools are an important step to ensure that every student has the opportunity to learn according to their abilities and needs. Through a literature study, this study summarizes various findings from journals, books, and research reports to capture how the concepts, implementation processes, challenges, and effective strategies of remedial and enrichment are applied at the basic level. The results of the study show that the most decisive initial step is to recognize students' learning difficulties through initial assessments, classroom observations, and portfolio analysis. In remedial activities, teachers need to develop a targeted improvement plan, utilize concrete media, provide guidance in small groups or through peer tutors, and conduct reassessments to see student progress. Meanwhile, enrichment can be provided by identifying students who demonstrate higher abilities, then engaging them in creative projects, mini-research, or interest-based activities that challenge higher-level thinking skills. Teachers play a very strategic role as planners, facilitators, as well as providers of emotional support. In the field, the implementation of these two programs is still constrained by limited time, large number of students, and lack of supporting resources. Therefore, strategies such as differentiated learning, the use of simple technology, and the implementation of project-based learning are recommended to increase effectiveness. This study is expected to be a practical reference for elementary school teachers in developing remedial and enrichment programs that are more adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable.
