ANALISIS KOMPARATIF RPP IPS PADA KURIKULUM 2013 DAN RPP SEDERHANA DALAM MENDUKUNG PEMBELAJARAN EFEKTIF DI SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

Lesson Plan (RPP) is an important component in the learning process that functions as a
guide for teachers in conducting teaching and learning activities. This study aims to
analyze Social Studies (IPS) lesson plans in the 2013 Curriculum and the simplified lesson
plans, as well as to examine the differences, strengths, and weaknesses of both in
supporting the learning process. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach
using a library research method and comparative analysis. Data were obtained from
official documents, books, and relevant scientific journals. The results show that the 2013
Curriculum lesson plan has complete, detailed, and systematic components, providing
structured guidance for teaching, but it tends to be complex and burdens teachers
administratively. Meanwhile, the simplified lesson plan only consists of three main
components, namely learning objectives, learning activities, and assessment, making it
more flexible, practical, and efficient. In Social Studies learning, the simplified lesson
plan is considered more relevant as it accommodates contextual and student-centered
learning. However, the effectiveness of the simplified lesson plan highly depends on
teachers’ pedagogical competence in designing and implementing learning activities.
Therefore, teachers’ skills and creativity are required to ensure that the simplified lesson
plan can optimally achieve learning objectives.
