Kesadaran Sejarah Dalam Pembelajaran Sejarah

Abstract

History is an inseparable part of human life. Every individual, group, and nation has

a historical journey that shapes their identity, values, and mindset. This study aims

to analyze historical awareness in history learning. The research method used is

library research, through the collection and analysis of literature in the form of

scientific journals, books, academic articles, and relevant documents. The results

show that historical awareness is an intellectual and cultural construct formed

through a long and multi-layered process. It is not only related to knowledge of past

events, but also concerns how individuals and groups understand the meaning of

history, position themselves within the timeline, and use historical experiences as a

basis for life orientation in the present and future. History learning plays a

fundamental role in fostering historical awareness because it provides a formal and

systematic space for students to interact with the past scientifically. Therefore, it can

be concluded that the formation of historical awareness is influenced by various

factors that work in a complex and interconnected manner. Formal education and

the quality of history learning are primary factors, but they cannot stand alone

without the support of other factors such as the role of teachers as pedagogical

agents, the family and social environment, culture and value systems, media and

information technology, collective historical experience, and curriculum and

education policies.
