Pemanfaatan Situs Megalitikum (Sarkofagus) Sebagai Sumber Pembelajaran Sejarah Tingkat SMA Di Desa Tipang

Abstract

  This study aims to explain the existence of a sarcophagus in Baktiraja sub-district, Humbanghasundutan district which can also be used as a source of history learning for students. In this case the teacher is positioned as the only and the main source of information, students are left behind as objects of sufferers while the teacher as all sources and managers of information only teaches by the lecture method. Occasionally also provide conventional question and answer methods to students but do not provide questions that can increase students' interest in learning. So that history learning is not only boring, but also only becomes a vehicle for developing low-level thinking and does not provide opportunities for students to solve their own problems. There are several ways that teachers can do, namely by bringing students directly to visit the sarcophagus (tour work) or by using powerpoint by presenting pictures of the sarcophagus in powerpoint slides. This study uses the historical method using a qualitative approach. This method is a systematic reconstruction of the past and objects by collecting data and processing the data in stages; (a) Heuristics (Source Collection), b. Verification which consists of external and internal criticism, (c) Interpretation, (d) historiography
