The influence of technology, which is growing every day, is no exception in the world of education1. Conventional learning that gives full power to the teacher as a single source of knowledge turns to books that can be read by everyone. Then, technological developments bring people to the use of the internet which can be a source of learning wherever and whenever needed2. pandemic Corona Virus Disease 19 has disrupted the entire world and created crises in various fields. Several policies have been taken by the government to minimize mass physical contact, so that it is expected to break the chain of spreading the Covid-19 virus. This policy has an impact on teaching and learning activities that were originally face-to-face, then carried out at home through distance learning using online media. As a result, policy makers related to the education system face many problems3,4. Problems encountered such as: . unstable signal. limitations of learning tools. the limitations of teachers in the use of technology and psychological problems also arise such as students who feel stressed and anxious because they are cooped up at home, the impact is that students spend less time studying than when learning at school. The shift in learning from face-to-face to distance learning creates greater inequalities in students' cognitive abilities. Other effects also appear such as reduced learning motivation and emotional disturbance of students. Isolation of students from teachers and classmates resulted in "distribution of behavioral and Students from disadvantaged backgrounds experience more stress, for example when they have to share a limited number of digital spaces and devices with other family members. While parents are in this situation, they are under pressure due to financial and work security problems due to the Covid-19 So, parents cannot provide support to their children in situations like this. Online media such as websites, zoom, meetbecome an alternative as a solution, teachers and students are required to be able to use various applications that can support the online learning process. The process of interaction between peers and interaction with teachers is very supportive in teaching success. Students appreciate the opportunity to learn online, but the limited interaction between teachers and students, causing learning not to run optimally so that teachers are required to always improve their online teaching skills/ online teaching pedagogy 5.

Thus, this study aims to develop a history museum website as one of the historical resource centers that can be easily accessed by students in order to improve students' historical thinking skills. Research Method This research is research and development (R&D) using the ADDIE model. The research stages are divided into the problem analysis and website development stage, the website design preparation stage, and the expert validation test stage, product testing, validity and reliability testing, the product effectiveness test stage in improving historical thinking skills. The research sample was 180 high school students taken from 564 high school students in Pekanbaru City through purposive sampling technique. The research instrument consisted of expert validation sheets, product test sheets, and historical thinking skills tests.

Results and Discussion The results of the research on developing a historical museum website are in the form of a website that can be accessed by students and teachers. The purpose of developing a history museum website is to improve the ability to think historically. The aspects that are considered in developing the history museum website are as Kabilah: Journal of Social Community Print-ISSN: 2502-9649 Online-ISSN: 2503-3603 Terakreditasi Nasional SK No. 14/E/KPT/2019 Vol. 6 No. 2 Desember 2021 Analyze Analysis Problem analysis/preliminary study is carried out with two activities, namely: . literature study and . field study. The literature study was carried out by researchers aiming to collect the theoretical basis in developing a history museum website. In the literature study, the researchers looked for factual information about the material presented in history learning through lesson plans and syllabus. Furthermore, the field study was carried out by researchers by conducting direct observations and interviews with teachers and high school students in Pekanbaru City. The results of the preliminary study found facts that so far both teachers and students are still limited in obtaining historical learning resources. This is because, history is learning related to the past. The history is a story or event that has actually happened or an event that has actually happened or took place in the past, which is then investigated by historical writers from time to time. This opinion is reinforced by Kuntowijoyo6 who emphasizes that history is the result of the reconstruction of the past. Teachers must have more ability to present historical events in the present and students can accept them well. However, in the delivery process the teacher experienced several obstacles such as: . limited resources because many sources were destroyed. the characteristics of historical sources, especially digital historical sources which are very easy to access, but also easy to and . the limitations of teachers in the use of ICT 8. One of the goals of history learning is for students to acquire historical thinking skills and historical understanding9. Through historical thinking skills, students are encouraged to carry out historical investigations through activities of searching, finding, analyzing, reconstructing, and generalizing a past event. The availability of historical sources that can be used as information in the reconstruction of the past is closely related to historical investigation activities. To increase historical research activities and foster the development of historical thinking skills, we must take strategic steps to overcome the limitations of historical sources, one of which is the development of a history museum website. Development of Website history museum website is then validated by a team of experts. The validity aspect is obtained at the validation stage of the history museum website. The validation results were obtained from a media expert assessment questionnaire. Validity is an important point in research on the development of a history museum website.
