Abstract
21 Globalization has a major influence on various aspects of life, including culture, especially for elementary school-aged children who are vulnerable to exposure to digital media. This phenomenon risks shifting local cultural values and weakening national character if not addressed appropriately. This study aims to analyze the development and the co-occurrence network of globalization influences in culture, and analyze the role of science in elementary schools in facing the era of globalization. The results of this study reveal: 1) The development of simulation learning research reached its peak in 2025, with 11 articles, and Indonesia was the largest country with a total publication of 13 articles. 2) The co-occurrence network in simulation learning research produced 5 clusters, consisting of curriculum learning clusters and social environment. 3) The role of social science learning in maintaining cultural values in the era of globalization is as a medium for transmission and cultural heritage values, development of national character, cultural reinterpretation, and formation of social identity. In this context, social studies learning plays a vital role in introducing and fostering a love for local culture from an early age. With the Independent Curriculum, teachers can develop contextual, character-based learning.
