Abstract

This paper aims to present the development of integrative thematic textbook based on ethnic-pedagogic studies. The textbook is created to fulfill the gap between the curriculum in Indonesian elementary schools and the curriculum in Department of Elementary Teacher Education in university. The Indonesian elementary school curriculum required integrative learning of multiple subjects within a theme, whereas in the university level prospective primary school teachers are learning the disciplines separately. This integrative thematic approach makes an urge for the university to prepare the model of textbook which is used by undergraduate students in higher education as an example of conducting integrative learning. Ethno-pedagogic studies are conducted to identify appropriate themes for the book. The initiated ethno-pedagogic themes are used as a unique property of the book which can integrate linking competencies from many different subjects. The first-year research of book design shows that the themes are powerful to compile various disciplines of several chosen lectures (social studies, mathematics, science, Indonesian language and art) in higher education. The second year of this study used experimental research design and it found that the book is considered to be appropriate to use for undergraduate students in the department of elementary teacher education.
