The role of ecological contextual based for prosocial (ECOPS) model in social studies learning model in junior high school during Covid-19 pandemic.

Ecological-contextual based learning for Prosocial (ECOPS) is a learning model used in social studies subjects in junior high school as an attempt to stimulate students' prosocial behaviour. This ECOPS model is founded on the concern for the environment with the ultimate goal being prosocial behaviour. This study aims at describing the implementation of the ECOPS model in social studies learning during the Covid-19 pandemic in junior high school in order to stimulate students' prosocial behaviour. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method, and data collection was done by means of observation, interviews and documentation studies of the students of SMPN 1 Cimahi. Respondents of this study involved 15 7th graders of junior high school students. Based on the data collected from the respondents, it was found that social studies learning using the ECOPS model were proven to have stimulated students' prosocial behaviour during the Covid-19 pandemic. This was confirmed by the change in students' attitudes after participating in social studies learning using the ECOPS model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
