Zulkifli Alamsah Sutanto, Mukhamad Murdiono, Eva Nur Hidayah

Abstract


This study aimed to analyze how the Socratic seminar learning model can strengthen students’ communication skills at State Islamic Senior High School (MAN) Purbalingga. This study is a case study with a qualitative approach. The research subjects are civic education teachers at MAN Purbalingga and eleventh-grade students at MAN Purbalingga. Data collection techniques included interviews, observations, and documentation. Data validity was ensured using source- and technique-based triangulation. Data collection instruments included interview guides, observation sheets, and document checklists. Data analysis employed the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model, which consists of data condensation, data presentation, and data verification. The results of this study indicate that strengthening students’ communication skills involved the development of knowledge and insights through class presentations, as well as actively engaging in asking questions. Therefore, it was suggested that civic education teachers and students collaborate to develop and implement strategies that address the needs of civic education learning, thereby contributing to the improvement of civic education in the future.
