“…The very possibility of innovation required and appropriate to the nation's culture is to develop a cooperative learning model. This is consistent with several recommendations, spatial thinking and map literacy development based on cognitive social developmentlearning theory, which is presented in cooperative learning (Adeyemi & Cishe, 2015;Gauvain, 1993;Verma, 2014;Wiegand, 2006 ). The recommendations and views of these scientists form the basis for developing a model of map literacy learning based on Vygotsky's cognitive social learning theory.…”

This article presents the results of the first implementation of map literacy learning model in middle school classes - this is the preliminary test. The implementation of this learning model will gain optimal results when it is conducted by following all the component of the model such as the syntax, theoretical framework, social system, teachers' roles, and support system. After the model implementation has been completed, the results showed that there was significantly different in students' spatial thinking skills before and after the treatment. However, the implementation also revealed that the model has some technical issues and thus to be improved. In a social system revision, the teacher has to be flexibly provide scaffolding every time he/she sees that the students need it. Teacher's book is significantly important to help a teacher lead the learning process. After improvement of the model has been completed, then it is ready to be implemented in the main field testing stage.

“…Ref [13] also recommended Vygotsky's Socio-cultural concept as one of the theories of map utilization in a learning process. Meanwhile, Ref [4] has proved that a cooperative map-based learning is more effective than the individual learning. Several articles and research also explain that sociocultural conditions could affect people's cognitive spatial development such as the differences in cultural backgrounds and places (living environment) [15]- [17].…”

Map is required many disciplines to present information. Various professions and occupations require maps to support their activities. Social Studies as the first subject in schools has a great responsibility to teach and build map literacy. Presenting map as an alternative media and learning resources and developing it into a learning model are strategic efforts to realize a powerful Social Studies learning. A concept from the United States which is adequate in affecting curriculum of the latest social studies education prevailing in Indonesia today. social studies are the first subject to introduce map in school, has a great responsibility to teach and build map literacy. This article aims to identify maps usage in Indonesia secondary school IPS lessons. It would reveal teachers perception on assumption that IPS will be powered by the application of map literacy in learning. Research result exhibits that the utilization of map has not been optimal because the map is still limited as a medium to merely present a location. The majority of teachers are very confident that by utilizing maps in social studies learning would make social studies meaningful, challenging, value-based, integrative and active (powerful). These results ultimately suggest that map literacy is a necessity for learners in Indonesia and teachers are very supportive for the development for a model of learning-based literacy map that is able to realize a powerful IPS learning.
