IMPLEMENTASI PEMBELAJARAN TRANSFORMATIF BERBASIS LEARNING HOW TO LEARN (LHTL) PADA TEMA MAKNA KEMERDEKAAN BAGI SISWA KELAS VI SEKOLAH DASAR NEGERI MAGERSARI

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING MODEL BASED ON LEARNING HOW TO LEARN (LHTL) ON THE THEME "THE MEANING OF INDEPENDENCE" IN THE SIXTH GRADE OF SDN MAGERSARI

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji implementasi model pembelajaran transformatif berbasis Learning How to Learn (LHTL) pada tema "Makna Kemerdekaan" di kelas VI SDN Magersari. Penelitian ini berfokus pada dua aspek utama: proses pelaksanaan model pembelajaran LHTL dan faktor-faktor yang mendukung maupun menghambat implementasi model tersebut. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, dengan sumber data utama berupa siswa kelas VI, guru, dan dokumen pembelajaran seperti Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran (RPP). Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi observasi, wawancara, dan analisis dokumen.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran transformatif berbasis LHTL mencakup langkah-langkah perencanaan yang matang, pengantar pembelajaran untuk membangun kesadaran belajar, pemberian tugas mandiri, diskusi kelompok, serta evaluasi melalui refleksi dan umpan balik. Implementasi model ini berhasil meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kritis, kemandirian belajar, dan pemahaman siswa terhadap nilai-nilai kemerdekaan secara mendalam berdasarkan latar belakang keluarga mereka. Faktor pendukung mencakup keterlibatan aktif siswa, strategi pengajaran yang inovatif, serta dukungan fasilitas pembelajaran. Namun, penelitian juga mengidentifikasi hambatan seperti keterbatasan waktu dan kurangnya pemahaman awal siswa tentang konsep LHTL. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi teoretis terhadap pengembangan model pembelajaran transformatif di tingkat sekolah dasar dan menawarkan wawasan praktis bagi guru untuk menerapkan LHTL guna membangun karakter siswa yang kritis, reflektif, dan nasionalis. Implikasi penelitian ini juga relevan untuk pengembangan  kebijakan  pendidikan  yang  mendukung  pembelajaran berbasis karakter.

This study aims to examine the implementation of the transformative learning model based on Learning How to Learn (LHTL) on the theme "The Meaning of Independence" in the sixth grade of SDN Magersari. The research focuses on two main aspects: the process of implementing the LHTL model and the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its implementation. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with primary data sources including sixth- grade students, teachers, and learning documents such as Lesson Plans (RPP). Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and document analysis.

The findings reveal that transformative learning based on LHTL involves systematic steps such as thorough planning, introductory sessions to build learning awareness, independent assignments, group discussions, and evaluations through reflection and feedback. The implementation of this model successfully enhanced students' critical thinking skills, independent learning capabilities, and deep comprehension of the values of independence, based on their families’ background. Supporting factors include active student engagement, innovative teaching strategies, and adequate learning facilities. However, the study also identified barriers such as limited time and students' initial unfamiliarity with the LHTL concept.

This research provides theoretical contributions to the development of transformative learning models in primary education and practical insights for teachers to implement LHTL in fostering students' critical, reflective, and nationalistic character. The implications of this study are also relevant for educational policy development supporting character-based learning.
