This study aims to describe the integration of social and environmental issues in Sociology learning and analyze its role in shaping social awareness of grade X students of SMA Negeri 4 Ternate City. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research informants consisted of Sociology subject teachers and grade X students who were selected purposively. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and SaldaƱa which includes data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was obtained through source triangulation and technical triangulation.
