ABSTRACT

The 21st-century skill that guides a person to achieve success in his social life is social skill. This study aims to describe learning that influences the social skills of elementary school students. Social skill indicators include cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy, and self-control. Qualitative research method with a case study approach was employed. The subjects involved the students, teachers, and school principals at Bengawan Solo Nature School. The sampling technique was purposive. The data collection techniques were in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and document studies. Then, they were analyzed into stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The results show that (1) lesson planning must involve students, be guided by the national and school curriculum, and the teacher must also have broad insights to develop learning materials that raise the themes of social environment; (2) learning implementation must have diverse methods, models, media, and the sources of student learning must involve parents and provide diverse activities such as outbound, market day, backpacking, social service, social projects, and counseling; and (3) for learning evaluation, various methods of evaluation and various assessment instruments are used to assess cognitive aspects, affective aspects, and skill aspects comprehensively. It concludes that learning at Bengawan Solo Nature School influences the development of students' social skills.
