MEMPERKUAT KARAKTER INTEGRASI NASIONAL MELALUI PENDIDIKAN PANCASILA DALAM UPAYA MENCEGAH TINDAK KEKERASAN DI SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

Education plays a crucial role in instilling the values of national integration from an

early age. Elementary school (SD) as the first formal education level has a great

responsibility in shaping the character of students who have a deep understanding of

national identity, tolerance, and respect for differences. Using a qualitative approach, this

research aims to explore in depth how Pancasila Education plays a role in shaping the

character of national integration in students of SD No. 1 Pangsan and how this character

building contributes to preventing acts of violence in the school environment.

Based on the results of interviews and observations with principals, teachers,

committees and students, the results show that students at SD No. 1 Pangsan have been able

to internalize the values of Pancasila and national integration in an effort to prevent violence

in the school environment. The implementation of strengthening the character of national

integrity through Pancasila Education at SD No. 1 Pangsan comprehensively for students

is to have a better understanding of the importance of unity, tolerance, and respect for

differences. They will also be more aware of the negative impacts of violence and have the

skills to prevent and resolve conflicts peacefully. The internalization of Pancasila values

will be reflected in students' daily attitudes and behaviours, such as respecting each other,

helping friends, avoiding bullying, and participating in school activities. The

recommendations for optimizing the formation of national integration character through

Pancasila education in an effort to prevent acts of violence at SD No. 1 Pangsan are the

active role of teachers to improve competence through training, create a conducive school

atmosphere, and involve the role of parents and the community in shaping student

character.
