Abstract
This study aims to describe the implementation of thematic learning on the material ^Unity in Diversity^ using the spider web model at Sekolah Alam JIGS Medan. Thematic learning with the spider web model is designed to integrate various subjects through a central theme, which allows students to gain a holistic and contextual understanding. In this study, a descriptive qualitative approach was used to explore how it is applied in thematic learning. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of documents related to curriculum implementation. The results of the study indicate that the application of the spider web model in thematic learning at Sekolah Alam JIGS Medan successfully connected learning materials with a broader and more relevant context. The findings of this study indicate that the use of the spider web model in the context of thematic learning can increase student engagement and support understanding of the material in an innovative way. The spider web model helps students link various concepts and skills through a central theme, while the Artsteps media provides a visual platform that facilitates exploration and presentation of information. This study contributes to the understanding of the effectiveness of digital media integration in thematic learning and suggests the use of similar methods in other educational contexts.
