The 21st century demands that teachers be innovative in designing active, collaborative, and real-life learning. This article aims to describe history teachers' strategies for designing meaningful learning in accordance with the demands of 21st-century competencies. The method used is a literature study, examining various theories, research findings, and the latest educational policies. The study results indicate that strategies teachers can implement include analyzing student characteristics, implementing innovative learning models such as Project-Based Learning and Inquiry Learning, utilizing digital technologies such as Augmented Reality and virtual museum tours, and implementing authentic project-based assessments. Through these strategies, teachers can create engaging, contextual, and meaningful history learning experiences, while simultaneously fostering students' historical thinking skills and national values in the digital era.
