Abstract
21st-century education currently demands that students not only understand learning in theory, but also develop individual social skills in the learning process. Contextual learning such as simulation has great potential to improve social skills, but not many have reviewed it in a structured manner and its development at the elementary school level. This study aims to analyze the development, co-occurrence network, and integration of social skill values through simulation learning through activities such as role play, sociodrama, and peer teaching. The results of this study reveal: 1) The development of simulation learning research reached its peak in 2025, with 6 articles and Japan was the largest country with a total of 4 articles published. 2) The co-occurrence network in simulation learning research produced 5 clusters, consisting of learning and curriculum clusters. 3) The integration of social skills in simulation learning for social science subjects at the elementary school/madrasah ibtidaiyah level refers to 5 social skill values, namely cooperation, communication, empathy and tolerance, responsibility and problem solving.
