Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila melalui Pembelajaran Berbasis Keterampilan Abad ke-21

Abstract

Developing the Pancasila Student Profile represents a key initiative in modernizing Indonesian education for the 21st century by aligning Pancasila values with essential 21st-century skills, namely Critical Thinking, Creativity, Communication, and Collaboration (4C). This paper explores how adopting 21st-century learning approaches can cultivate students who are faithful, morally upright, globally minded, cooperative, self-reliant, analytical, and innovative. Employing a literature review method, the study draws on academic research and current educational policy frameworks. Findings indicate that learner-centered instruction and creative pedagogical strategies play a significant role in fostering both character and skills that reflect the principles of Pancasila. The paper advocates for a proactive role of educators as agents of change and underscores the necessity of embedding Pancasila values within the Merdeka Curriculum to support future-oriented education.
