- Abstract
Controversial history learning in the subject of Indonesian History has so far had many problems, both in terms of teacher readiness, learning resources, learning strategies, and assessment. The purpose of this study is to explore the problems of controversial history learning in Indonesian history subjects, especially regarding the dilemma of teachers in teaching controversial issues. This research is a preliminary study of the controversial history learning program evaluation research through a survey of 30 teachers. The results of the study indicated that there were several research findings as follows. First: there is teacher reluctance in teaching controversial material, and there is even a tendency for teachers to avoid discussing controversial material. Second: teachers feel that they lack knowledge about controversial material and how to teach controversial material. Third: the factors cited as reasons by the teachers were the insufficient supplies they received while studying at the college and the lack of availability of learning resources (textbooks, non-text, or supplements) that support learning controversial historical material. The research implication is the need for colleges to pay special attention to controversial history courses and the History teacher association’s need to conduct training on controversial historical learning strategies.
