Several methods have been applied such as Small Group Disccusion, Discovery Learning and others are quite effective to use in lectures but are less varied. Previous research on Story Telling states that story telling is able to activate not only the intellectual aspect but also the aspect of sensitivity, subtlety, emotion, art, fantasizing power, and children's imagination that not only prioritizes left brain but also right brain. This study aims to identify the influence of Story Telling on the improvement of students' knowledge in following the course of Nursing Philosophy at STIKES RS. Baptis Kediri. Research design was using One Group Pretest Posttest Design. The study population is all STIKES RS. Baptist Kediri Level I. The sample of this research is 45 respondents with total sampling technique. The independent variable in this research is Story Telling while the dependent variable is Knowledge Level.
