The historical communities capacity in fostering nationalism and tradition of critical thinking

Summary/Abstract: History extracurricular education material began to be integrated into contextualizing the curriculum by incorporating elements of local history. The historical communities can play a role in filling the historical space that lacks context. Thus, students can take advantage of their learning context through practice from historical communities. This study used qualitative methods to explore widespread data from numerous information sources and then weigh the combined value of inside and outside factors. The combination of two data components is used to analyze empirically based findings that the role of the historical communities can encourage students to form nationalism and think critically. The involvement of the historian's communities is projected to enhance an intense historical understanding. Applying local history learning methods becomes more attractive than conventional learning and becomes a new alternative to increase nationalism and the tradition of critical thinking for students.
