Abstract

This study aims to analyse the four components of Integrated Social Studies learning management designed based on inquiry learning by planning, implementation, assessment, and reflection of follow-up learning outcomes. The Classroom Action Research method was used. The results of the study show that: First, the effectiveness of Integrated Social Studies learning planning that is based on inquiry is determined by the results of the analysis of the knowledge and skills of students at each stage of inquiry.Second, the effectiveness of the implementation is determined by the formulation of the plan as outlined in the lesson plan that can be implemented by educators consistently and appropriately. Third, the assessment of learning outcomes is determined based on the observations results during the learning process and learning tests. For students who actively participate in the learning process, it turns out that their learning outcomes can meet the predetermined criteria, namely mastery of learning out comes by 85% and even up to 96%. Fourth, follow-up learning outcomes for students who have problems in carrying out the inquiry stage. Therefore, before preparing an Integrated Social Studies learning plan based on inquiry, it is necessary to analyse the needs, knowledge, and learning skills of students.
