Abstract

This study explores the implementation of history education at Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 2, New Delhi, with the aim of understanding how national curriculum guidelines are translated into classroom practices. The research investigates the pedagogical strategies employed by history teachers, the extent of student engagement, and the challenges faced in delivering inclusive and critical historical content. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with four history teachers and eight students, and document analysis of teaching materials and lesson plans. Findings reveal that history teaching remains largely textbook-driven and exam-oriented, with minimal use of interactive methods such as group discussions, debates, or inquiry-based learning. Sensitive topics like caste, colonialism, and partition are often avoided or presented superficially, limiting students’ exposure to diverse historical perspectives. Teachers cited institutional constraints, curriculum load, and political sensitivity as factors influencing their teaching choices. Student responses indicated a general disinterest in history, stemming from its perceived irrelevance and passive delivery. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on the micro-level dynamics of classroom practice, rather than textbook content or curriculum policy alone. It applies critical pedagogy and postcolonial theory to analyze how historical narratives are shaped and constrained in practice. The study contributes to global debates on decolonizing education and emphasizes the importance of teacher agency and pedagogical reform. In conclusion, enhancing professional development and promoting reflective teaching practices are essential to making history education more meaningful and socially responsive.

Abstract

This study aims to examine students’ learning motivation in history subjects at SMA Negeri 4 Gorontalo and to identify the factors influencing that motivation. The research adopts a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with thirteen respondents—including three history teachers and ten students—and document analysis involving students’ learning outcomes such as assignment books, daily test scores, and report card grades. The findings reveal a noticeable decline in students’ academic performance at SMA Negeri 4 Gorontalo, primarily due to the implementation of a dual-shift learning system following a school fire incident. Shortened instructional time, an unconducive learning environment, and decreased student interest and motivation have led many students to struggle with understanding the material, neglect assignments, and ultimately obtain low scores. These results underscore the significant influence of learning environment conditions on both student motivation and academic achievement. Furthermore, the study offers new insights into how emergency conditions—particularly the implementation of a dual-shift system in post-disaster settings—can affect student motivation and performance in history education. This research is particularly important given the limited existing literature on educational challenges in disaster-affected schools, especially within the Indonesian context.
