From the description above, learning about describing the development of
communication technology is said to be unsuccessful because the number of students who
master the subject matter is less than 70%. This is adjusted to the direction of the SLB
supervisor in KKG activities and examination of learning analysis in Bekasi City, namely
learning is said to be successful if at least 70% of students have mastered the subject matter,
therefore researchers as class IV/C teachers of SLB KK III need to improve learning so that
students can easily and quickly find out the development of communication technology in
the past and present.
Class Action Research (CAR) was first introduced by an American social
psychologist named Kurt Lewin in 1946. Lewin's core ideas were then developed by other
experts such as Stephen Kemmis Robin Mc. Taggart, John Eliot, Dave Ebbutt and so on
(Minggi, Mulbar, Nasrullah, & Zaki, 2019). In Indonesia, PTK was only known in the late
80's. According to John Eliot, Classroom Action Research (CAR) is a study of social
situations with a view to improving the quality of action in them (Saputra, 2021).
Social Studies is a subject in SLB which consists of two main study materials, social
knowledge and history. Social knowledge includes Anthropology, Sociology, Geography,
Economics and State Administration (Utomo, 2012). Historical study materials cover the
development of Indonesian society from the past to the present (Asyiah & Sunanto, 2014).
Teaching aids or learning resource media that must be developed to achieve optimal results. It's
like what was said (Rahman, 2018).
The research objectives include: a) Students can tell their experiences using past and
present communication technology. b) Students can explain the advantages and
disadvantages of using past and present communication tools. The results of this study can
improve the teaching and learning process in class IV mentally retarded especially in Social
Sciences (IPS). Therefore, it is necessary to develop learning theory, especially with the
development of science in various fields and various new guidelines for the quality of the
process and results of learning..
