Abstract

This study aims to uncover the story behind the conflict monuments in Sedie Jadi Village, focusing on how the narrative of the Aceh conflict can be utilized as an enrichment for history learning resources for high school students. The Aceh conflict, which lasted for several decades, left a profound impact on various regions, including Sedie Jadi Village. The monuments built in this village serve as important symbols of the collective memory of the community related to the struggles and suffering endured during the conflict. Through a qualitative approach, this study explores the narratives embedded in the monuments and the oral stories of local residents about the Aceh conflict, analyzing their potential integration into school history lessons. The study finds that the historical narrative of the Aceh conflict from the monuments in Sedie Jadi Village not only enriches students^ understanding of local history but also imparts lessons on reconciliation, resilience, and peace. By involving students in understanding the Aceh conflict through a local perspective, it is expected that they will be more connected to the national historical context and its impact on society. This study recommends utilizing monuments and local historical narratives as integral parts of more interactive and relevant history education for younger generations.
