Abstract

This study aims to provide an overview and examine the inculcation of character values in students, particularly in early childhood education. The government has long promoted character education, and currently, it is developing the Pancasila Student Profile program by involving educational institutions from the earliest levels, including early childhood education (ECE), elementary, junior high, and senior high schools, as sekolah penggerak. The Pancasila Student Profile represents Indonesian students as lifelong learners who possess global competencies and embody the values of Pancasila. It comprises six core dimensions: being faithful, devoted to God Almighty, and virtuous; embracing global diversity; working collaboratively; demonstrating independence; engaging in critical reasoning; and showing creativity. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, using a descriptive research design. Questionnaires were used as the main instrument to collect data from several respondents representing the research population in Semarang. Additionally, interviews with the principal and classroom teachers were conducted, along with observations of children to explore the character values already present. The findings revealed that most children in group A were at the stage of “emerging development” in terms of character aspects. In contrast, children in group B began to demonstrate “expected development.” Role-playing activities proved to be an effective and enjoyable method for instilling Pancasila character values in early childhood, as they encouraged active participation, empathy, and meaningful social interaction.
