Abstract

The study was to examine the teachers' efforts in using the history textbooks within the history learning process in the class by implementing multiple strategies and approaches in order that the textbook use might be optimum and one of the approaches was the brain based teaching. The study applied the quantitative approach and strived to compare the results of qualitative studies that had been conducted previously. In the history learning process in the XI Grade Social Program and the XI Grade Science Program of 4 Bandung State Senior High School that utilized the textbooks, the researcher might explain that through all of the learning approaches (emotional, social, cognitive, physical and reflective approach) basically the students had been able to show their performance in accordance with the five approaches. The most dominant historical thinking indicator that appeared in the learning process was the learning participants' capability in understanding the social concept change in the history and the historic methodology, namely the stages in performing a historical study. On the other hand, the less dominant indicator in the historical thinking within the learning process that the teachers had conducted was the learning participants' capability in displaying different paradigm or in viewing an event from different perspective. Then, the frequently appeared indicator in the learning process that the teachers had conducted was the learning participants' capability to filter the information and to identify the history of their family, community, nation and state. The understanding toward the political climate had been the less appeared historical thinking indicator in the history learning process. © Serials Publications.
