Abstract
The condition of teaching materials on concepts, principles, and attitudes in Sociology textbooks in high school are irrelevant to the context of student life where sociology is taught, thus causing alienation for educators and students. So the sociology learning taught at the high school level is not indigenous to the socio-cultural conditions of the local community and is more Western (Europeancentric) with universal values. This research aims to identify teaching materials on the components of concepts, principles, and attitudes to produce a reconstruction model in contextual sociology teaching materials. The approach used in this research is a qualitative approach with a case study type. Determination of informants was carried out by purposive sampling technique with informants consisting of a board of experts, lecturers, and teachers of sociology. Data collection using in-depth interview techniques, FGD (Focus Group Discussion), and documentation studies. The data were validated by triangulation of sources and methods, while the data analysis was carried out using the semantic analysis model from Yan Zhank and the interactive analysis from Miles and Huberman.
The results of the research on the reconstruction of contextual sociology teaching materials can be carried out through three reconstruction models, namely: (a) reconstruction of universal material concepts with local concepts, (b) reconstruction of universal material principles with local concepts, and (c) reconstruction of national attitudes (nationality) with a local attitude. This reconstruction resulted in the sociology of text teaching materials being contextual sociology teaching materials. The reconstruction carried out on Sociology textbooks in high school can contribute ideas about the reconstruction model of contextual sociology teaching materials in sociology subjects at the high school level.
