Abstract

The learning of social science tends to use the monolitic approach, and top down method. It is also too theoritical. The students tends to be ”textbookish” that the learning process is not in accordance with their experiences. The impact of this condition is that the learning of social science only gives a little contribution towards the development of the individual and the democratic society. The learning of social science should be the main instrument to strengthen the character of Indonesians without negelcting the active and fun learning method. The research is aimed to know the improvement of learning quality of social science in some primary schools that were the partners for this research by applying the learning method “Berkat Anang”, which is the abbreviation of characher, active, and fun. The method used in this research was the descriptive qualitative, and the strategy used was the single case study. The data were collected by using the direct observation, open informal and in-depth interview, and open questionnaire given to the teachers, students, and the headmasters of SDN Kleco 2, SDN Pajang 3, and SDN Tunggulsari 1. The result of the research proves that the learning method of “Berkat Anang” is fun and is able to develop the students’ character and improve students’ participation.
