A Analysis of "Academic History" Writing in the 2013 Curriculum History Learning

Abstract

The writing of history books, including history textbooks/modules, cannot be separated from the spirit of the period in which they were written. According to the development of historiography in Indonesia, there are at least three forms of historical writing, namely ideological, inheritance, and academic, which are the result of how a period affects the composition of historical texts. Academic history is a term to describe how historical texts are processed from a rigorous methodological stage of historical research, or what is known as historiography. The method used in this research is content analysis method. This method works by collecting and analyzing the meaning content of a text. The analysis focuses on the historiography of historical textbooks used in schools, especially the 2013 Curriculum History Module issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture in 2020, how the module correctly reconstructs events or how they are arranged based on the principles of historical science. Some scientific requirements such as the source of the facts used, the truth of the facts, the approach to the facts, the spatial aspect, the time aspect, whether those have been fulfilled properly or not.
