ABSTRACT

Sirang Island is one of the islands in Aranio District, Banjar, South Kalimantan. This island was only discovered in 2016 when the water in the Riam Kanan River receded drastically due to the damage to one of the steam power plants in South Kalimantan. After research, Sirang Island turned out to have many ancient relics, precisely traces of the Paleolithic period. Various kinds of stone artifacts were found in the Sirang Island area. This allows Sirang Island to be used as a place for outdoor learning-based history learning. The understanding of history in schools is still not optimal because most of them are still based on reading books. The authors develop the concept of history learning by tracing directly to Sirang Island. The archaeological potential that exists on this island can be used as a learning resource to provide direct experience to students. Therefore, this paper describes the concepts of learning steps. It is hoped that with the implementation of the trip to Sirang Island (Trisula), an outdoor learning experience, students will better understand historical material, especially Paleolithic traces in South Kalimantan.
