<![CDATA[Developing affective connections to the past enables students to understand historical figures as individuals whose experiences were shaped by the social, cultural, and political circumstances of their time, thereby fostering an understanding of history that extends beyond the acquisition of factual knowledge. This study aims to 1) identify the tendencies of reflective learning in senior high schools in Banjarmasin City; 2) analyse how teachers can implement learning treatments to train students' affective connections to historical events; and 3) analyse the results of the learning treatments provided by teachers through narrative analysis. This study employed a qualitative narrative analysis design to explore how students construct affective connections to historical events through critical reflection and contextual understanding.
