Are there Pancasila values in Early Childhood Education activities? Survey Study in Indonesia

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Early childhood education (ECE) plays an important role in shaping children's character and basic values. This article aims to explore whether Pancasila values are implemented in early childhood education activities in Indonesia. Through a survey study involving 23 early childhood educators, this research identifies the level of understanding and implementation of Pancasila values, namely Godhead, Humanity, Unity, Democracy and Social Justice, in the curriculum and daily activities. The survey results show that most educators understand the importance of Pancasila values and attempt to implement them through play activities, collaborative learning, and cultural recognition. However, there are challenges in consistency and implementation methods, especially related to diverse understanding among educators. This study suggests increased training for educators and the development of more systematic guidelines to ensure Pancasila values can be effectively integrated in early childhood education. The implications of this research are important for education policy and curriculum development oriented towards strengthening children's character based on Pancasila values.
