Learning material is all information, tools and text which is needed by teachers/ instructors to plan and evaluate the learning implementation. Learning material can be written or unwritten things which is used by teachers and students in the teaching and learning process in the class. Learning material is also the knowledge, skill and attitude which must be studied by student in order to reach the determined competences. In detail, learning material consists of knowledge (fact, concept, principle, procedure), skill, attitude and value. The important problem which often occurs and faced by the teachers who teach social science in elementary school is to determine or choose the appropriate learning materials that can help the students to achieve the competences. This is caused by the fact that curriculum only contains the outline of basic material. It then becomes a duty of teacher to describe the basic material in detail so it becomes complete learning materials which can help teachers and students in the teaching and learning process.
