Development of Video Media for Social Studies Learning in the Era of Globalization in Grade 5 at SDN Slerok 7, Tegal City

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of video media in Social Studies (IPS) learning in the era of globalization and to identify its benefits in improving elementary school students' learning interest, participation, enthusiasm, and understanding. This research was motivated by the monotonous nature of Social Studies learning, which predominantly relies on lecture methods and limited variations in instructional media, causing students to become easily bored and less actively involved in the learning process. This study employed a qualitative approach, involving fourth-grade students of SDN Slerok 7, Tegal City, as research subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman analytical model. The findings indicate that the implementation of video media in Social Studies learning creates a more engaging, enjoyable, and interactive learning environment. The use of video media also encourages greater student enthusiasm and participation, facilitates understanding of learning materials, and assists teachers in delivering information more effectively. Students demonstrated greater interest in video-based learning compared to conventional teaching methods.
