Strategi Pengembangan Karakter Anak Usia Dini melalui Pendidikan Pancasila

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a strategy for early childhood character development through Pancasila education that can be implemented effectively in PAUD institutions. The library method in this study was carried out by collecting and analyzing relevant literature on early childhood character development through Pancasila Education, including educational theories and related policies. Researchers used sources such as books, scientific journals, and articles to explore the components of character education and Pancasila values ​​that can be applied in PAUD. This literature analysis aims to identify research gaps, evaluate the implementation of Pancasila in PAUD, and formulate effective and applicable character development strategies. The results of this study reveal that early childhood character development through Pancasila Education still faces challenges, especially in PAUD teachers' understanding of Pancasila values ​​and the limitations of the Pancasila-based curriculum. The existing curriculum has not sufficiently integrated the affective, cognitive, and psychomotor dimensions in a balanced manner. In addition, the learning methods used are not fully contextual and the less innovative learning media are obstacles in conveying Pancasila values ​​in an interesting way. Collaboration between schools, families and communities is essential to strengthen the teaching of Pancasila values ​​and continuous evaluation is needed to ensure effective character development.
