<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze students' perceptions of local history-based history learning innovations and their implications for historical awareness. Historical learning innovations that integrate local history are seen as a pedagogical strategy that can bring historical material closer to the context of students' lives, making it more meaningful and contextual. However, the effectiveness of this approach is greatly influenced by how students perceive its implementation in the learning process. This study used a quantitative approach with a correlational survey design. The subjects were students in the history education study program at a university in Indonesia, selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instruments consisted of a questionnaire on students' perceptions of local history-based history learning innovations and a questionnaire on historical awareness that had undergone validity and reliability tests. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics through simple correlation and regression tests. The results showed that students' perceptions of local history-based history learning innovations were in the good category. Students' historical awareness was also in the high category. There was a positive and significant relationship between students' perceptions of local history-based history learning innovations and historical awareness. These findings indicate that the more positive students' perceptions of learning innovations that integrate local history, the higher their level of historical awareness. This study recommends strengthening the implementation of local history-based history learning as a strategy to increase students' historical awareness and the development of innovative models that are more adaptive to the characteristics of students in higher education.]]>
