Abstract

In Old Javanese tradition, inscriptions were used as a mark of honor or to commemorate particular events. Inscriptions constitute an archaeological resource that makes an important contribution to the reconstruction of past historical events. This study aims to analyze the content of the Renek Inscription and its potential as a source for history education. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with literature review as the data-collection technique. This study positions the Renek Inscription as a foundational primary source for reconstructing the local history of Pasuruan during the fourteenth century reign of Hayam Wuruk, demonstrating that the region functioned as an active center of regional administration, land tenure law, and juridical resolution rather than a peripheral area. Beyond supplying verifiable historical data on administrative structures, ancient toponyms, and land disputes under the authority of Sri Wijayarajasa, the inscription holds significant pedagogical value for history education. Its alignment with the Phase E curriculum for tenth grade enables its use as a concrete, place-based case study, effectively bridging historiographical research and secondary education to teach Hindu-Buddhist acculturation through contextual local wisdom.
