ABSTRACT
Damage to maritime resources is caused by the absence of maritime awareness that begins with a lack of public understanding about the importance of preserving marine resources and their potential. This condition needs serious attention, especially in educational institutions that print the nation's generation. Therefore, a maritime-oriented learning planning design is needed. The purpose of the study is to determine the application of maritime content in social studies learning. Bosowa School Makassar has implemented a maritime-oriented learning program in social studies learning. This study uses a naturalistic inquiry method with data collection techniques carried out by observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show: the application of maritime content in social studies learning begins at the planning stage until the learning evaluation has been carried out properly marked by the stages of learning that the teacher to the maximum has prepared. In the implementation of social studies learning, a contextual learning approach is used. The learning outcomes show the emergence of students’ awareness and understanding that reflect the love for the homeland and the spirit of defending the country with a maritime character.
