Keywords:
Pancasila, Bhineka Tunggal Ika, Pancasila Student ProfileAbstract
This qualitative case study investigates the integration of Pancasila values and Bhinneka Tunggal Ika in educational practices to strengthen the Profil Pelajar Pancasila (Pancasila Student Profile). Conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Palembang, data were gathered through a multi-method approach, including observations, interviews, and document analysis. Findings reveal that the school ecosystem effectively utilizes these foundational Indonesian values to address and manage diversity across religion, race, culture, gender, and socio-economic status. This integration fosters a school environment where students develop character aligned with Pancasila principles, preparing them to be resilient national successors capable of navigating external influences and the challenges of globalization. The study concludes that embedding Pancasila and Bhinneka Tunggal Ika values is crucial for cultivating students who embody the attitudes and competencies of the Profil Pelajar Pancasila.
