Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the obstacles and needs in teaching the social science at primary school levels. A descriptive aproach method was used in this research. The data collected were analyzed using interactive analysis (Miles and Huberman). The results show that: 1) the books used are not interesting enough as there are many materials and only few pictures, which encourage the students to think critically; 2) the learning tends to be teacher-centered where the teachers dominate the class with their explanation and has limited interactive session; 3) students tend to memorize the materials; 4) having limited teaching media, the teachers make the learning process become abstract, while primary-school students need to have activities which encourage their way of thinking from concrete into abstract. In conclusion, an innovation that suits primary school students’ character is needed to create a meaningful learning process.
