PENDEKATAN PEMBELAJARAN TERPADU: MENGOPTIMALKAN MODEL INTEGRASI FRAGMENTED DI SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

The implementation of integrated learning in primary schools is an innovative approach in education that aims to develop holistic competencies in students. Integrated learning combines various disciplines and themes, allowing students to understand concepts more deeply and contextually. This approach emphasizes project-based, collaborative learning and critical thinking. In this study, the integrated learning method was applied at SEkolah Dasar Negeri Wage 2 Kecamatan Taman to evaluate its effectiveness on the learning process. Data were collected through classroom observation and student assessment tests. The results show that integrated learning increases student engagement, facilitates a more comprehensive understanding of concepts, and develops social skills and critical thinking. Despite challenges in its implementation, such as the need for teacher training and curriculum adjustments, the benefits derived from this approach are significant. This study suggests the need for greater support from schools and education policy to optimize the implementation of integrated learning in primary schools.
