Abstract

This article is intended to find solutions related to the lack of adequate history learning to strengthen ethnic identity and maintain social harmony in a multicultural society through the development of a local history learning model based on the value clarification technique (VCT). The learning model is achieved through research and development using the Plomp model. The learning model goes through an expert validation process, including experts in local history teaching materials, experts in value education, experts in ethnic identity and Saminism, and experts in developing learning models. Furthermore, the learning model was tested on 30 students as participants with a pre-experimental pre-and post-tests one group design. The data collection technique was carried out through the distribution of questionnaires. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis was performed using a  t-test. The results of the t-test showed a significant strengthening of ethnic identity after the trial. The local history learning model based on the value clarification technique (VCT) can strengthen ethnic identity and maintain social harmony. The development of this learning model is possible if history lecturers have experience related to relevant ethnic studies.
