The results of the study were the learning of material controversy in social studies has not been well constructed by the teacher. The teacher has not carried out material analysis by separating material that can be developed to grow the critical power of students because it contains controversial material. Thus, the learning that he does also uses a learning model that is not based on material. It happens because the teacher’s educational background is monodisciplinary, material analysis does not involve teacher professional groups, and lack of understanding of the material controversy in social studies learning.
