This study aims to analyze Social Studies (IPS) lesson plans in the… the 2013 Curriculum and the simplified lesson plans, as well as to examine the differences, strengths, and weaknesses of both in supporting the learning process. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a library research method and comparative analysis. Data were obtained from official documents, books, and relevant scientific journals. The results show that the 2013 Curriculum lesson plan has complete, detailed, and systematic components, providing structured guidance for teaching, but it tends to be complex and burdens teachers administratively.

However, the effectiveness of the simplified lesson plan highly depends on teachers’ pedagogical competence in designing and implementing learning activities. Therefore, teachers’ skills and creativity are required to ensure that the simplified lesson plan can optimally achieve learning objectives.
