The study on traditional oral storytelling to strengthen identity in elementary school students at an institution in Huancayo aimed to determine the effect of traditional oral storytelling on strengthening cultural identity in 1st to 3rd grade students at the San Antonio María Claret Private Educational Institution in Huancayo. It is based on the hypothesis that traditional oral storytelling has a significant effect on strengthening identity in 1st to 3rd grade students. The research was conducted using a quantitative, applied, explanatory, pre-experimental design with a sample of 20 students. It concludes that traditional oral storytelling has a positive effect on strengthening the identity of 1st to 3rd grade students, as evidenced by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, which obtained a value of Z = −1.838 and p = 0.000. These results show that most children positively changed their identity through the application of the oral storytelling strategy, promoting their sense of belonging and identification with their culture.
