2025-11-14T10:27:16+07:00

The rapid transformation of social and technological environments has created challenges in maintaining the internalization of Pancasila values among younger generations, particularly university students. In this context, student organizations serve as strategic arenas for ideological formation, value transmission, and the practical articulation of Pancasila in social and organizational life. This study aims to analyze the process of Pancasila value internalization, the role of Pancasila within the student movement, and its implementation in the activities of Pimpinan Cabang Kesatuan Mahasiswa Hindu Dharma Indonesia Denpasar (PC KMHDI Denpasar). This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a naturalistic design. Data were collected through observations, interviews, documentation, and literature review, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model. The findings reveal that the internalization of Pancasila within PC KMHDI Denpasar is a continuous process shaped by cadre education, organizational ideology, vision and mission, collective narratives, and programmatic activities. The study also shows that Pancasila is not merely a formal national ideology but is interpreted as a practical ethical framework, reflected in organizational practices that emphasize religious values, humanity, unity, deliberative democracy, and social justice. These findings demonstrate that student organizations can become important institutional spaces for transforming Pancasila from an abstract normative foundation into lived values through organizational culture, leadership development, and collective action. This study contributes to Pancasila studies by highlighting the role of student movements as agents of ideological reproduction and civic character formation in strengthening the sustainability of Pancasila values among younger generations.

The relationship between Islamic values and the national ideology of Pancasila has remained an important discourse in Indonesia, particularly in understanding how Islamic youth movements construct and negotiate the relationship between religious and civic identities. As one of the influential Islamic student organizations, the Islamic Student Association (Himpunan Mahasiswa Islam, or HMI) plays a strategic role in developing ideological frameworks that integrate Qur’anic values and national values through the Basic Struggle Values (Nilai Dasar Perjuangan, or NDP). This study aims to examine differences in perceptions between HMI cadres and non-member students regarding the relationship between Qur’anic values and Pancasila, and to identify challenges and potential strategies for strengthening ideological integration. This research employs an exploratory mixed-methods design involving 22 university students in Bangkalan, Madura. Quantitative data were analyzed using simple linear regression, while qualitative data were examined through six-stage thematic analysis. The findings indicate that HMI membership does not significantly influence students’ perceptions of the relationship between Qur’anic values and Pancasila (p > 0.05; R² = 0.009–0.055), while both HMI cadres and non-member students demonstrate a strong substantive understanding of this relationship, reflected in high mean scores ranging from 3.79 to 4.54. Qualitative findings reveal that participants perceive the Qur’an as a source of fundamental ethical values and Pancasila as a contextual framework for organizing social life within a pluralistic nation. The study also identifies several challenges, including limited ideological literacy among younger generations, external ideological influences, and the need for more contextual approaches to values education. This research contributes to Pancasila and Islamic studies by demonstrating that the integration of Qur’anic values and Pancasila is not primarily determined by organizational affiliation but by the internalization of shared ethical principles through inclusive and contextual education.

Humanity Injustice in the Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) Program

2025-10-25T03:10:24+07:00

The ideal of social justice mandated by the fifth principle of Pancasila remains challenged by persistent inequality, uneven access to welfare, and gaps between public policy objectives and their implementation in Indonesia. The Free Nutritious Meals (Makan Bergizi Gratis, or MBG) Program represents an important case for examining whether state welfare policies have realised substantive social justice or merely administrative distribution. This study aims to critically analyse the relevance and actualisation of Pancasila’s fifth principle through a philosophical examination of the MBG Program as a manifestation of the relationship between the state and citizens. This research employs a qualitative approach using literature review and policy discourse analysis by examining academic works, philosophical perspectives, and public policy discussions related to social justice, humanity, and the MBG Program. The findings reveal that the MBG Program reflects a gap between the normative ideals of social justice and policy practices, particularly in terms of accountability, public participation, and protection of human dignity. The study further shows that social justice cannot be reduced to the distribution of material benefits but must include ethical responsibility, recognition of citizens as active subjects, and participatory governance mechanisms. Therefore, this research argues that the realization of Pancasila-based social justice requires a transformation from administrative welfare policies toward justice-based governance that integrates humanity, accountability, and community participation as fundamental principles of public policy.

Strengthening National Identity in the Era of Globalization and AI toward Golden Indonesia 2045

2025-09-23T12:08:14+07:00

Indonesia, as a nation founded upon the values of Pancasila and characterized by its rich diversity of ethnicities, cultures, and religions, faces significant challenges amid globalization and the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This study aims to examine the impact of globalization and AI development on the erosion of Pancasila values in society and to formulate strategies for strengthening these values in support of national development toward Golden Indonesia 2045. This study employs a literature review method with a descriptive-analytical approach, drawing on academic literature and relevant policy documents. The findings indicate that globalization and AI development may contribute to the erosion of Pancasila values through cultural infiltration, the dominance of external values, the spread of misinformation, and changes in social interaction patterns. These developments may weaken social cohesion, civic responsibility, and the internalization of national identity when digital technologies are adopted without adequate ethical and cultural awareness. Globalization and AI also present strategic opportunities to strengthen Pancasila when supported by appropriate policies and educational approaches. Strengthening Pancasila can be pursued through its integration into national development policies and educational systems, the enhancement of digital and civic literacy, and the adaptive and ethical utilization of AI and other emerging technologies. Therefore, digital transformation should be understood not merely as a potential threat to national identity but also as an opportunity to revitalize Pancasila values, strengthen social resilience, and reinforce national cohesion in realizing the vision of Golden Indonesia 2045.

The Constitutional Court’s Progressive Interpretation of Simultaneous Elections from the Perspective of Pancasila Democracy

2025-07-06T23:41:01+07:00

The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia Decision Number 135/PUU-XXII/2024 introduces a significant transformation in Indonesia’s electoral system by separating national and regional elections. This decision generates constitutional debates regarding the scope of judicial authority, the nature of constitutional interpretation, and the balance between judicial innovation and democratic principles. This study aims to analyze the Constitutional Court’s progressive interpretation in Decision Number 135/PUU-XXII/2024 and examine its implications for Pancasila democracy. This research employs a normative legal method using statutory, conceptual, case, and comparative approaches. The analysis focuses on the Court’s ratio decidendi, constitutional reasoning, and comparative experiences of judicial interpretation in democratic constitutional systems. The findings demonstrate that the decision adopts a hybrid interpretive approach, combining progressive constitutional reasoning responsive to democratic needs with an expansive judicial role that approaches positive lawmaking. The decision contributes to strengthening substantive democratic justice and improving electoral governance; however, it also raises concerns regarding legal certainty, consistency with previous jurisprudence, and the balance of powers within constitutional democracy. This study argues that progressive constitutional interpretation in Indonesia requires a balance between responsiveness to societal developments and judicial restraint to maintain institutional legitimacy and the integrity of Pancasila constitutionalism.

Strategies for Enhancing Students Civic Literacy through the Revitalization of Pancasila Education in Higher Education

2025-09-01T12:17:47+07:00

The limited level of civic participation and the prevalence of political misinformation among students highlight the need to strengthen civic literacy within Indonesian higher education. This study aims to examine strategies for strengthening students’ civic literacy through the revitalization of Pancasila Education by identifying transformative, contextual, dialogic, and participatory approaches to civic learning. A qualitative-descriptive approach was employed through a systematic literature review of scholarly journals, books, and academic articles published between 2015 and 2023. The collected literature was analysed thematically by focusing on teaching methods, student engagement, curriculum transformation, and the integration of civic learning into university life. The findings indicate that the predominantly normative and theoretical orientation of Pancasila Education may limit students’ opportunities to develop critical reflection, analytical capacities, and active civic participation. The literature further suggests that dialogic, transformative, and community-based learning can connect Pancasila values with contemporary social and political issues and provide students with opportunities to engage in meaningful civic experiences. Based on these findings, the revitalization of Pancasila Education requires curriculum transformation, strengthened pedagogical capacities among lecturers, and the development of campus environments as civic learning spaces through dialogue, debate, student activities, and community engagement. The study conceptualizes Pancasila Education as an instrument for developing civic literacy that combines value internalization with reflective, analytical, and participatory capacities.

Humanistic Philosophy in Pancasila Education

2025-10-26T00:34:45+07:00

The rapid growth of digital technology has transformed patterns of human interaction, access to information, and understanding of legal norms, while Indonesian students’ literacy levels remain below the OECD average and public legal awareness remains moderate. These conditions highlight the need to strengthen legal consciousness through an educational approach that integrates legal understanding with humanitarian and ethical values. This study aims to examine how Pancasila Education can strengthen humanistic legal consciousness in Indonesia in the context of digital disruption, particularly through the value of “Just and Civilized Humanity.” The study employs a qualitative normative-philosophical approach combined with a systematic literature review of academic publications, policy documents, and research reports published between 2015 and 2025. Following systematic screening and evaluation, 32 core sources were selected and analyzed through descriptive systematization, normative evaluation, and critical interpretation. The findings indicate that Pancasila Education can strengthen humanistic legal consciousness by integrating legal knowledge with reflection on human dignity, justice, empathy, responsibility, and social consequences. The study further finds that reflective, participatory, and contextual learning enables students to connect Pancasila values with their digital, social, and cultural experiences, transforming legal awareness from formal compliance into internally grounded moral responsibility. This study argues that Pancasila Education should be reconceptualized as an ethical praxis that positions citizens as moral and rational agents capable of reflecting on legal conduct and exercising responsibility based on humanitarian and social justice values in the digital era.
