Implementation of Manuscript-based History Learning on High School Students' Learning Outcomes in Langsa City, Indonesia

. The study investigates the impact of history learning based on the Abdurrauf As-Singkili manuscript on student learning outcomes. The research addresses the limitations of history education in schools, particularly regarding the lack of engaging and locally relevant content. By utilising the valuable historical resource of the manuscript, the study aims to provide an innovative approach to history education that enhances student motivation and learning outcomes. The experimental research methodology involved two groups: an experimental group that received history instruction using the manuscript and a control group that did not. The study was conducted in two high schools in Kota Langsa, Aceh, Indonesia, and the participants were X-grade students. A questionnaire assessed students' knowledge, and data analysis included hypothesis testing. The results indicate that the experimental group achieved higher average scores than the control group, suggesting the positive impact of utilising the manuscript in history education. The average score of students in SMA Negeri 1 Kota Langsa with the module was 85.54, while the average score of students in SMA Negeri 3 Kota Langsa without the module was 69.28. The statistical analysis showed that the distribution of post-test data for the experimental group can be considered normal. The findings contribute to developing innovative history teaching methods and highlight the significance of utilising local historical resources in enriching students' learning experiences.
