<![CDATA[This study aims to improve the historical understanding of grade IV A students through the application of storytelling method at Agape Terpadu Nabire Christian Elementary School. The background of this study is based on the low understanding of students towards historical material as indicated by low learning outcomes and lack of student involvement in the learning process. This study uses a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach which is implemented in two cycles, including the planning stage, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study were 28 grade IV A students. Data collection techniques include observation, tests, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis is carried out descriptively qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of the study indicate that the application of the storytelling method can significantly improve students' historical understanding. This is indicated by an increase in student learning completeness from 25% in the pre-action stage to 67.86% in cycle I and increasing again to 96.42% in cycle II. In addition, there is an increase in student activity and participation in the learning process. Thus, the storytelling method is effectively used as an alternative learning strategy to improve elementary school students' historical understanding.]]>
