The Evaluation Model of Integrated Social Sciences Learning Program

This study aims to produce an evaluation
model of the Integrated Social Sciences learning program
in junior high schools. The subject of social studies
education plays an important aspect in school, because it is
not only teaching knowledge, but also it educates character
for the students. However, generally there is no clear
guideline on how the evaluation of the students undertaken
by the teachers works. Since there are a wide range of
evaluation models by the scientist, this study will focus on
the use of Borg and Gall models. A qualitative method was
used with Research and Development (R&D) approach
which consists of ten stages. The data collection technique
used was simple random sampling with a total of 350
students from eight schools in Aceh Province. It used
questionnaires, tests and documentation. The instrument
validity includes face validity and content validity. It is also
analyzed by expert judgment. Furthermore, construct
validation was analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis
(CFA). The instrument reliability estimation uses the
Cronbach Alpha formula with the help of the SPSS for
Window 16.0 program. The results of the evaluation model
research produced are called EP_PISTdu. It is an
evaluation model that can be undertaken by social studies
education teacher to measure student’s ability. After the
model was examined towards some school, it can be
concluded that the EP_PISTdu evaluation model product is
feasible to be used as a system to measure the Evaluation of
Integrated Social Studies Learning Programs in junior high schools. The EPISTdu can be used by the teachers,
especially in social studies education module in junior high
school level.
