Abstract

Historical awareness is an important component of history education because it enables students to understand the relationship between past events, local identity, and contemporary life. However, history learning often focuses on national historical narratives and textbook-based instruction, resulting in limited exposure to local historical figures and events. This study aims to examine the potential utilization of local history-based documentary videos about the struggle of Sultan Thaha Saifuddin as a learning medium for enhancing students’ historical awareness. This study employs a literature-based qualitative approach by examining relevant scholarly literature, historical sources, and studies concerning local history education, documentary video as a learning medium, Sultan Thaha Saifuddin, and historical awareness. The analysis indicates that integrating Sultan Thaha Saifuddin’s struggle into documentary-based learning can provide contextual historical narratives, strengthen students’ understanding of local historical identity, and encourage students to connect past events with present social values. Documentary videos also have the potential to present historical information through a combination of visual, narrative, and contextual elements, making local history more accessible and meaningful to students. The novelty of this study lies in integrating the historical narrative of Sultan Thaha Saifuddin with documentary video as a contextual learning medium specifically oriented toward historical awareness. The study suggests that local history-based documentary videos can be considered an alternative medium for enriching history learning and strengthening students’ appreciation of local historical heritage.
