This study was motivated by globalization progress, causing the Indonesian people to lose national character and leave local wisdom from generation to generation. Therefore, it is necessary to have character building for students amidst technological advances so that the character traits of students can be applied in everyday life. One of the learning activities with character education is a social science, especially at the elementary school level. This study aimed to analyze the local wisdom-based character building through social science learning in elementary schools. This study used a qualitative approach with a library research method. Based on the results, the local wisdom-based character education through social science learning in elementary schools had to apply 18 character traits defined by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Elementary schools include local wisdom values in their learning plans and apply them to thematic learning.
Mastery of a teacher in conducting integrated learning is important in every lesson, especially in elementary schools. The achievement of learning carried out by a teacher cannot be separated from the learning models used. This community service activity is based on the fact that not all teachers in elementary schools master the learning material, this is because these teachers are graduates from multidisciplinary sciences. So that the learning carried out by the teacher experiences problems in the process of delivering material to students. The purpose of this activity is to provide training to teachers to master integrated social studies learning models that are in accordance with learning in the 21st century and especially learning during this pandemic. This training activity uses observation, interview and participant-centered methods through direct simulation techniques, and is followed by evaluation at the final stage of the activity. The output target generated in this activity is the development of an innovative integrated social studies learning model in the new normal era.
