Social sensitivity is one part of the national education goals, primarily in character building of students. Social sensitivity itself is an act of someone in seeing a social condition or situation that occurs in their surroundings quickly and accurately without coercion. However, in reality, there are still many students who are less concerned with the people around them and less concerned about environmental sustainability. Whereas humans are social creatures who always need interaction with their surroundings. This study aims to determine the application of IPS learning based on the contextual teaching and learning approach to develop students' social sensitivity. The data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, questionnaire, and documentation with research subjects of IPS teachers and all students in grade VII H of SMPN 1 Mojowarno, Jombang. Data analysis techniques were carried out through the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study indicate that the application of IPS learning based on the contextual teaching and learning approach is able to develop students' social sensitivity. This is seen in the development of students' social sensitivity that occurs at every stage of learning in accordance with the principles of the contextual teaching and learning approach as viewed from each sub-indicator. Thus, this study provides insights into how the contextual teaching and learning approach can be applied to develop students' social sensitivity.
ABSTRAK
Kepekaan sosial merupakan salah satu bagian dari tujuan pendidikan nasional utamanya dalam pembentukan karakter peserta didik. Kepekaan sosial sendiri merupakan tindakan seseorang dalam melihat suatu keadaan atau situasi sosial yang terjadi di lingkungan sekitarnya dengan cepat dan tepat tanpa adanya paksaan. Namun pada kenyataanya, masih banyak dijumpai peserta didik yang kurang peduli dengan manusia di sekitar dan kurang menjaga kelestarian lingkungan. Padahal manusia merupakan mahluk sosial yang selalu memerlukan adanya interaksi dengan lingkungan sekitarnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penerapan pembelajaran IPS berbasis pendekatan contextual teaching and learning untuk mengembangkan kepekaan sosial peserta didik. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan yaitu observasi, wawancara, angket, dan dokumentasi dengan subjek penelitian guru mata pelajaran IPS dan seluruh peserta didik di kelas VII H SMPN 1 Mojowarno, Jombang. Teknik analisis data dilakukan melalui tahap pengumpulan data, reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penerapan pembelajaran IPS berbasis pendekatan contextual teaching and learning mampu mengembangkan kepekaan sosial peserta didik. Hal tersebut dilihat berkembangnya kepekaan sosial peserta didik yang terjadi di setiap tahapan pembelajaran sesuai dengan prinsip-prinsip pendekatan contextual teaching and learning yang ditinjau dari tiap-tiap sub indikator. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini memberikan pandangan tentang bagaimana penerapan pendekatan contextual teaching and learning untuk mengembangkan kepekaan sosial peserta didik.
