Pembelajaran sosial dan emosional (PSE) makin sering dipadukan ke dalam mata pelajaran, tetapi penelitian tentang praktik rasa syukur di sekolah umumnya mengukur dampak jurnal syukur secara kuantitatif dan jarang menanyakan pengalaman siswa sendiri. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi pengalaman siswa SMP mengikuti aktivitas Say Gratitude, yaitu kegiatan mengungkapkan terima kasih, permintaan maaf, dan perasaan secara langsung kepada teman sekelas, yang dipadukan guru ke dalam pembelajaran IPS. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif eksploratif. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semiterstruktur dengan dua siswa yang mengikuti aktivitas tersebut. Transkrip tiap siswa dianalisis secara tematik, kemudian dibandingkan, pada empat fokus: persepsi terhadap pendekatan guru, pengalaman emosional selama aktivitas, perubahan cara memahami dan memperlakukan teman, serta harapan siswa. Hasil menunjukkan empat temuan. Pertama, kedua siswa memandang pembelajaran IPS menarik karena guru memadukan penjelasan dengan praktik, permainan, dan kuis digital, serta menempatkan diri sejajar dengan siswa. Kedua, siswa menggambarkan Say Gratitude sebagai ruang yang aman dan privat; rasa canggung, takut, dan gengsi pada awal kegiatan berganti menjadi lega, meskipun kecanggungan terhadap teman lawan jenis masih bertahan. Ketiga, siswa menuturkan bahwa mereka mulai mempertimbangkan keadaan teman sebelum menilai, lebih menghargai perbedaan pendapat dalam kerja kelompok, dan pada satu kasus mencoba menengahi konflik teman. Keempat, siswa berharap kegiatan dilakukan lebih sering dan lebih bervariasi, sedangkan salah satu siswa berharap ungkapannya berbalas. Temuan ini memberi gambaran awal bahwa ungkapan syukur yang disampaikan langsung dan terlindungi privasinya dapat menjadi pintu masuk PSE dalam pembelajaran IPS di SMP. Karena hanya bersumber dari penuturan dua siswa yang dipilih atas rekomendasi guru karena antusias mengikuti kegiatan, temuan ini perlu diuji dengan partisipan yang lebih beragam, observasi kelas, dan sudut pandang guru. Penelitian ini menyumbang suara siswa pada kajian PSE dan menawarkan pertimbangan praktis bagi guru IPS yang ingin merancang kegiatan serupa.
