Social Science Material Development Design Space- Time-Values Dimensions to Improve 21st Century Life Skills

This development research aims to produce a design for the
development of Social Science materials with space-time-values
dimensions to improve 21st century life skills among students of the
Faculty of Social Sciences, Universitas Negeri Medan. The specific
target to be achieved is the production of a Social Science Material
Development textbook with the Space-Time-Values Dimension. The
research method used is the R&D method following the Borg & Gall
procedure. The research subjects involved: lecturers who teach
courses; students as subjects for a limited group trial; and five
experts for textbook validation. The instruments used were expert
validation questionnaires, learning outcomes tests and observation
sheets which were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis to
analyze information on various field conditions; quantitative
descriptive analysis used to analyze the scores given by the expert;
and statistical analysis assisted by STATCAL software. The result of
the research shows that the textbook for the Development of Social
Science Materials with the dimensions of space-time-values was
developed, valid and suitable for use. Other findings based on
observations show that the design of textbook material
development contributes to students' 21st century life skills in
aspects: critical thinking and problem solving, creative and
innovative, communication skills, and collaboration skills.
