The Value of Local Wisdom as an Implementation of Character Education for Pancasila Students in the Independent Curriculum

Abstract

The essence of character education in the context of education in Indonesia is values ​​education, namely education of noble values ​​originating from the culture of the Indonesian nation itself, in order to develop the personality of the younger generation. One form of implementation of the Merdeka curriculum is a learning program that is guided by Pancasila values ​​which was later named the Pancasila Student Profile. This consists of an independent learning program through the Pancasila Student Profile based on Faith, Devotion to God Almighty and noble character, Global Diversity, Working Together. Collaborative, Creative, Critical Reasoning, and Independent. National character and identity are created because of the existence of various local cultures which have been proven to be able to make this nation more dignified. The motivation for exploring local wisdom is as a basis for rediscovering national identity which has shifted, if not to be said to have faded, from people's lives.
