INTERNALIZATION OF PANCASILA VALUES IN PANCASILA AND CIVIC EDUCATION LEARNING IN THE ATTEMPT OF BRINGING THE MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION INTO REALITY

Abstract

Indonesia is a pluralistic nation. Indonesian plurality can be seen from
horizontal and vertical perspective. Indonesian plurality brings both positive
and negative effects. The positive effect of plurality is that this nation can be
a great and strong nation. However, if this plurality is not managed well,
friction and conflict and even nation dissension will result. Amid science and
technology advance, as a plural nation, Indonesia needs an education that can
build this nation into a developed and great nation, but with character and
dignity based on the unity. Education that can answer this challenge is
multicultural education. One alternative of multicultural education is the
internalization of Pancasila values into Pancasila and Civic Education (PPkn)
learning. The internalization of Pancasila values is the process of imparting
and appreciating Pancasila values manifested into the students’ attitude and
behavior. If the internalization of Pancasila values can be actually brought
into reality, the function of Pancasila would run dully, as the state foundation
and ideology. It means that all aspects of statecraft and Indonesian nation’s
attitude and behavior in living within society, nation and state should be
based on Pancasila values.
