The Narrative of Wan Abdurrahman's Struggle as a Contextual Learning Medium in Elementary Education
Keywords:
narrative of struggle, Wan Abdurrahman, basic educationAbstract
Science and science learning in elementary education require a contextual approach that can link concepts to students' real experiences. One approach that has the potential to strengthen meaningful learning is the use of narratives of national figures' struggles as a learning medium. This article aims to analyze the relevance of narratives of Wan Abdurachman's struggles as a contextual learning medium in elementary education, particularly in science and science learning. This research uses a qualitative approach, employing a conceptual-pedagogical study based on a literature review. Data were obtained from scientific literature discussing Wan Abdurachman's struggles, contextual learning theory, and studies of value-based learning in elementary education. Data analysis was conducted through conceptual thematic analysis to identify the values of struggle and their pedagogical implications in science and science learning. The results of the study indicate that Wan Abdurachman's struggle narratives contain values of togetherness, social responsibility, and the meaning of independence that are relevant to integration in science and science learning. Using narratives of struggle as a medium for contextual learning helps students understand social concepts more meaningfully and supports the development of character and national awareness from an early age. Thus, integrating narratives of local figures' struggles in science and science learning is a potential pedagogical approach to improve the quality of elementary education
