The SOLO Taxonomy, designed to assess individuals' comprehension skills, consists of five hierarchical levels: “Pre-structural (PS), Unistructural (US), Multistructural (MS), Relational Structure (RS), and Extended Abstract (EA)”. This study aims to examine the learning outcomes of the Social Studies Curriculum, which began to be gradually implemented in 2024 for grades 1, 5, and 9, based on the SOLO Taxonomy. A document analysis method, a qualitative research approach, was employed for this study. The dataset is drawn from the Social Studies Curriculum (Grades 4-7) published by the Ministry of National Education in 2024. In total, 71 learning outcomes within the curriculum were analyzed according to the levels of the SOLO Taxonomy, and the data were evaluated using descriptive analysis. Findings revealed that, overall, the learning outcomes predominantly fall within the "Relational (RS)" level, followed by the "Extended Abstract (EA)" level. The "Relational (RS)" level was found to be the most represented across all grade levels and learning areas. However, a closer examination across grade levels and learning areas indicates limited representation of the “Unistructural (US)” and “Multistructural (MS)” levels, which highlights a scarcity in foundational and metacognitive learning levels. Generally, the 2024 Social Studies Curriculum (Grades 4-7) is crafted to promote metacognitive learning, with increased emphasis on the “Unistructural (US)” and “Multistructural (MS)” levels in areas covering history and geography.
