Abstract

This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach
where the researcher searches and collects resources in the form of information
and data about the use of museums as a source of historical learning, which in
turn provides descriptive data in the form of words, writing of objects observed
by researchers. The data used in this study comes from sources, places (museum buildings and collections) and documents. Data collection techniques used in this study were interviews, observation and document analysis. In this study, researchers used source triangle measurement by searching data through more than one informant related to the use of the museum's role as a source of historical learning. The results showed that the museum can motivate students and make students easy in the learning history process. The visit to the museum is something that deserves to be considered as a source of visual learning for
students. A visit to the history object is expected to change the assumption that
students studying history are not boring and satiating, but something interesting
and fun. On the basis of the findings in the field of SMA Negeri 5 Depok, the use
of the museum as a learning source is indeed not yet optimal, due to various
factors such as the lack of broad socialization to schools and the limited reach of
the museum, which is an obstacle to National Awakening Museum in an effort to
make the museum as a means to study history.
