<![CDATA[Social studies (IPS) learning that relies on lectures tends to develop students' abilities only partially. This study aims to describe the strategies used by IPS teachers to develop students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor abilities through a practice-based approach at SMP Negeri 7 Jember. A descriptive qualitative approach was used. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving two IPS teachers and five students, then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing). Data validity was tested through technique and source triangulation. The findings show that: (1) the cognitive domain is developed through contextual practice in the form of map, scrapbook, and poster making, which guides students to observe, analyze, and apply knowledge in tangible work; (2) the affective domain is developed through class agreements, group work with clear task division, presentations, and assessment that accounts for each member's contribution, which foster discipline, responsibility, and cooperation; (3) the psychomotor domain is developed through making products that train fine motor skills, with creative freedom guided by a given theme. The practice-based approach was perceived to develop the three domains in an integrated manner.]]>
