Strengthening Students Character Values through Pancasila Integration Teaching: Evaluation and Development of Values through Citizenship Project Model

Abstract

Education aims to shape individuals with the knowledge, values, attitudes, and skills to achieve physical and spiritual well-being. However, educational practices often fall short of expectations, creating excessive pressure on students and hindering their holistic development. This study aims to evaluate the impact of implementing the Strengthening Project of the Pancasila Student Profile (P5) within the Merdeka curriculum, develop a P5 model based on Project Citizen, and test the impact of using Project Citizen with Student Well-being as a proxy. The study involves a quantitative approach with a random sample of 2,800 high school students in Indonesia, utilizing a school well-being scale as the data collection instrument. Data is analyzed using SPSS statistics. The results show that overall, student well-being among high school students in various provinces in Indonesia falls within the moderate category. Implications of this study involve enhancing the implementation of P5 and integrating Project Citizen into the curriculum. Recommendations include involving more schools in implementing P5, providing training for educators, and further developing models based on Project Citizen. This study contributes to understanding the strengthening of the character of Pancasila student profiles, hoping to serve as a foundation for developing more effective education that supports student well-being.
