Purpose: This study aims to identify and evaluate the key principles and objectives of social education tailored to the characteristics of elementary school students, with a particular focus on the alignment with upperhand educational documents and frameworks. Methods and Materials: This research employed a qualitative design utilizing a combination of literature review and content analysis. Data were collected from various academic sources, including educational theories, governmental educational documents, and previous research on social education in elementary schools. The study used a thematic analysis approach to synthesize and categorize the findings into key principles and objectives of social education for elementary students. A total of 25 relevant articles, government reports, and educational frameworks were analyzed to ensure comprehensive insights into the subject. Findings: The findings indicate that effective social education for elementary students should incorporate principles such as inclusivity, emotional regulation, respect for diversity, and development of critical thinking skills. The study identifies that the objectives of social education should align with national educational standards, focusing on fostering students' social skills, ethical values, and socio-emotional competencies. The analysis reveals that current practices are often limited by insufficient integration with existing curricula, and there is a need for more strategic approaches that blend academic and social education seamlessly. Conclusion: This study concludes that there is a critical need for an integrated framework that addresses the social education needs of elementary school students, aligning them with national educational goals and frameworks.
