Strengthening the Character of Generation Z through the Integration of the Pancasila Student Profile into Pancasila Education Instruction
Abstract
Strengthening national character in the digital era faces escalating social challenges, including moral crises, cyberbullying, and a decline in the spirit of diversity among adolescents. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of integrating the six dimensions of the Profil Pelajar Pancasila (Pancasila Student Profile) into character-strengthening-based Pancasila Education. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, utilizing a literature review, participatory observation of classroom activities, and self-reflection surveys administered to 75 secondary school students. The findings indicate that internalizing Pancasila values facilitated by an experiential learning approach and character-building projects successfully enhanced students' moral knowledge, emotional empathy, and tangible moral actions. This represents a shift in the Pancasila Education paradigm from mere theoretical understanding and rote memorization toward the habituation of these values in daily life.
